Right guys after some advice.

I've recently got into tree swinging and following from a cracking weekend out with the mid england lads (Cheers Steve :You_Rock_). I got pretty much eaten alive.

I'm after fixing up a mozzie net to the DD camping hammock and looking for recommendations. I know there has been a few group buys and I contacted Magikelly off Song Of The Paddle and he suggested posting up on here.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Also I know there has been talk of using an Avon product called skin so soft as a repellent can't seem to find this anywhere - again advice would be good. :dunno:

Cheers

Muddy

i'm also interested in this as i have the same hammock which i recently used for the first time, there weren't any flying insects to attack me that night but i suspect as we get further into summer it will be a problem

There's not many options about at the moment, have a look here though ...

The Avon stuff you're looking for is the Skin-so-soft dry oil body spray, you should be able to pick it up on ebay for about £3 a pop.

I'm debating just selling on the camping hammock and buying a frontline

Any separate mossie net i buy doesn't have to be that expensive (£25-30) before it becomes uneconomical
