[pct-l] BUG NETS & TARPS

[Tortoise]

Now if I could sew . . .

taking the idea to the next level:
put a hem in the end otherwise sewn to the sleeping bag. Thread a piece of 
light elastic cord thru the hem long enough to go around your bag. When 
needed the mosquito net would be attached. Otherwise left in the pack or 
drift box or back home.
