mike, its interesting that i have been meaning to post this same idea on some forums, i have been using the same head net (exactly 1oz on my scale) for my underquilt stuff sack.. which then is worn on my head at night, replacing the hammock netting.
I am shaving off about 5 ounces by doing this, and my netless travel hammock is more comfortable than my netted version. not many bugs here in AZ, which part of our state are you interested in?
