Keeping out the bugs w/out a tent screen…

No actual experience, but I don't see that working, unless you fully velcro the entire length (or perimeter). But in that case, if you insist on connecting headnet with sleeping bag, then I would just add a zipper instead.

I am not real familiar with the hexamid. But, I have given lots of thought to going a floorless/netless tent; however, I figure with ticks in Arkasas, and mosquitoes, etc, I'll just carry the little extra weight. If you want to even out, just dump something else.
Also, the net weighs 6 oz, lets say your velcro headnet weighs 3 oz. Therefore you get uncomfortable sleep for savings of 3 oz.
Yea, some will say, carry deet, etc, but that crap stinks.

Just eat the 6oz, unless you want to get eaten.

a screen floor so the ants 'll crawl right in. Great tent. Call Joe and see what he recommends for this problem.

Good point. That's how I think too when considering which layers to take along, if an extra 4oz keeps me warm and comfortable than it's worth it. Cold and light or uncomfortable(bug bitten) and light is not fun.

Thanks for the tip Warren, I'll look into that.

Update: This is straight from the website under the bug net details for the hexamid plus……"It keeps 100% of insects, spiders, ticks, etc out!"
