[fast celt]

Hi john:You_Rock_
Netting arrived today its great and well made, I can't figure out how to fasten the presstuds once I'm in the hammock or am I being really dumb
I'm in scotland for the Scone show and I'm hoping for midges to try out the netting am I mad as well as dumb

Can I second FC's request for a photo and some instructions on the fastening of the insect netting - mine hasn't arrived yet but I have a feeling my small gorilla brain will struggle when it does

At the bottom of the netting there is a strip of ripstop, at the top of the netting there are 2 holes... Pass the hammock through the 2 holes and pull the netting tight (ish) over the lentgh of the hammock. Use the cord supplied with the netting to create a tight right line to keep the netting off your face and tie the netting at each end of the hammock to stop it slipping.

Once you've half got it all on, it really does become more obvious... I leave mine attached all the time and have replaced the cord for the netting with some elastic shock cord.

Although for some reason we did not get stuff sacks this time. I noticed on the one I opened that the tabs at the ends were still in a loop. These may need to be cut to give you two tabs to tie the ends shut.

Mine arrived today so thanks again Magikelly also thanks Squidders for the descriptive pitching info it certainly helped

Edit: Have had a trial pitch and it is really easy to fit. My loops also needed cutting so I suspect the rest are the same (don't forget to singe the cut ends though as they will fray badly otherwise). Really pleased with this set up I also have a Hennessy but to be honest I get a better nights kip in the Magikelly, the mossie net is optional, easy to get in and out of and it is better suited to the underblanket so if the jury is still out for you on which hammock system to go for I hope this info helps
