Great info for my military mosquito net, I have a tent pole (Life Fighter 1) Ghost bone that I use under my netting & a light ground sheet which works out great but with rain I’ll use my military poncho or larger tarp Beats the mosquito & muggy nights sweating here in Florida (Pinellas County)….Thanks for another option!
Nice but I use the older version with the four wooden poles on my issue cot and fly a tarp over that to stay off the ground these days …but I’m retired and 62 done the ground pounding days. Have fun stay safe.
I just found one of these at Goodwill today. Cool to see this video and some practical application. By the looks of ebay listings for these they are designed to be used with a military cot and a frame. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you so very much I have several of these mosquito Nets Army Surplus and now I know how to set them up honestly I think that and the tarp would be better than a camping tent camping hiking I mean
Outstanding video and thanks for showing how to set it up, I appreciate it! Those will work well for our hammock’s. Also, I got my nets at Coleman’s as well 😊
Bought one of these on ebay 20 years ago and then have never found a use for it, as I am usually camping in cooler or wetter environments, and I have the ORC dome tent which makes this piece of kit obsolete. That said, I've always wanted to find a use for it. At 1kg (2.2lbs) it does add a lot of weight to a backpacking kit, and only makes sense if you are bivy bagging it. For car or motorcycle camping though I'd like to try setting it up as a little cookhouse.
It is a little different. The "Cot Net" is cut more square to cover a cot. This one more closely matches the Pup Tent. However, you can use this one with a cot as well...
