…I keep looking for something very similar to MLD's or the bug bivy that a guy got custom made from OokWorks (http://www.secretmountain.co.uk/out-and-about/custom-trailstar-inner-bug-net-video-and-photos/), but something that's not going to run me >100 dollars. It seems to me that a bug bivy shouldn't be that expensive, although I'm sure they're difficult to make by hand and are surely worth that much from MLD or OokWorks since they're making them by hand. Still, at the moment I'm not in the market for something so expensive, but all the cheaper things I find just don't seem to fit the bill. Mainly, I'm looking for something that doesn't use any poles or hoops but instead ties into the loops in my trailstar that were made for such a purpose. And not only at the head, but away from the head. Also, I would prefer a silnylon floor, but maybe that's what's making the MLD and OokWorks bivys so expensive. Anybody have any ideas? And I'm not too handy with sewing, so making my own isn't exactly a great option, either. I saw Borah makes one for only 65 or 70, depending on the zipper option (http://ulgear.blogspot.com/p/bug-bivy.html). I can't tell if the tie-up loop is located only near the face or also near the feet/knees. if not, i figure it would be an easy custom job that wouldn't cost much, but i'd like to know if it's standard…i guess i could also just tie a ghostie.. but i guess i could do that with anything, and it's not ideal. anybody know any other options that are cheaper? right now Borah's stuff is looking good but i'd still like to find something similar for less expensive. anything i can find made by the big companies like sea to summit or rei are either not shaped like i want them or they use poles or something that pretty much negates the whole purpose i want a tarp and bug bivy in the first place. Like i said, MLD's is pretty much perfect (and i know it would work, since i'd be using it with a Trailstar), but I just can't shell out 125 for some mosquito netting right now.
