Ok, I went camping last weekend and it was horrible. The mosquito net I bought from eBay from some Chinese seller must be meant for asian mosquitoes, not the North American kind in the boonies. I was camping in the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park and I tell you, these mosquitoes crawled right through the holes of the mosquito net! My net ended up a mosquito hotel and I was their meal.
So, I know not to bring that mosquito net the next time I do hammock camping. I need to find something like those nets used in tents.

Camping with a hammock
This fall, I am thinking of going tent-less. Just bring in a hammock and a tarp over my head.
I have a Amazonas Travel Hammock that weighs next to nothing. The hammock is made out of nylon capable of supporting 250lbs. I had used it a couple of nights because I forgot to load my tent into the canoe once. Stupid me but that was a nice experience. It was a nice experience but I have to say it was hard to sleep at first--I kept on sliding to one side of the hammock as my body weight caused the strings to shift, and there were there mosquitoes.
Well, I will give it another try. This time around, I think I know how I will sleep in it, and I will also buy a mosquito net that spans the length of the hammock. I am also thinking I will have my DIY stove near my hammock to provide me some warmth. In addition to that, I will bring my foam mat to provide some insulation for my back.
The more I think about it, the more I want to be out there. It will be interesting.
