Brownie Gear Brownie Sleepnet

Franco, the drawcord does cinch around your waist so that rolling over a lot in your sleep could feasibly tangle you up.

I've used it on one overnight trip and found that so long as the Sleep net was hung low enough from the peak of the tarp so that there was some slack I didn't have a problem getting tangled up when I rolled onto my side. That being said, I also have perfected rolling onto my side in my quilt without moving the quilt.

This Sleepnet is a good option for saving the weight of fabric around your feet but at the cost of some comfort.

Just curious, why did you refer to it as the Brownie Gear Brownie Sleepnet?

Erroneously people think that goldfish have a 3 second attention span, in reality that applies to me. Hard to tell that I am familiar with Carol's creations from her dancing days….
As I am playing with a new tent,last night I managed to turn around all night and only shift my No Sniveler once, but I don't think I can do that using a zipped up sleeping bag.
The question was related to my mental comparison between this kind of "bug bivvy" and using a net plus ground floor combination. As usual I guess it is about what you are comfortable with.

>>Does anyone have any experience with this type of net ?

Franco, I have one that I bought from Carol a number of years ago. It's a personal thing, but it was too claustrophobic for me plus I got tangled in it. Then again, I get tangled in sleeping bags, quilts, etc. The minimum I can get away with in bug season is the A-16.

The dual use aspect of this is attractive but for my own most common situation (upper midwest summers), there are many nights which start out too warm to be in a sleeping bag or under a quilt so I can't rely on lower body skeeter protection without being fully enclosed by netting.

Higher altitudes with cooler evenings might be different.

"Claustrophobic" , well Dondo I feel like that inside that bug bivvy, mostly because I am used to the Tarptents or double tents .
Last night I banged my head on the net when a possum crossed the top of my shed and I tried to stand up to have a look. So this solution would not work for me ( in the bush, I wake up when kangaroos or wallabies are grazing nearby) but it is interesting to find out what works for others.

Sorry about the picture size..(thanks Roger)

We are investigating this problem: it seems to have happened a few times recently.

OK, this gives me the opportunity to load a picture of the shelter.
It's the Luxe Speedup.

The first picture was at 30% image size , this is 15% , the compression I normally use. So more than likely it was my fault.

Rather heavy for you guys (1.4kg with the original inner) but it is really easy to set-up (two pegs only,it can take 10 ) and offers a lot of room for those rainy days. Of course it is also made for normal people , IE under 175cm ( like me….)

Yep, it was my fault. I load directly from my desktop
