The Sea to Summit Nano Mosquito net is a pyramid shaped bug shelter for camping. The Single size was tested; meaning it only has enough room for one hiker. It is very minimal having four walls and no floor, so it's perfect for the ultralight backpacker or anyone looking to shave weight off of their back.
Using a Mosquito Net with a Floorless Tent
All you need is a trekking pole or branch to elevate. Then use four rocks, sticks or tent stakes to construct the length and width of the shelter.
I decided to add it to my
Olympic Mountain hiking gear list, to help keep the mosquitos away from my face at night. The netting will not keep very small bugs out. It fits perfectly under all my ultralight tarps and pyramid shelters. The only variable is extending or contracting the height by anchor cord.
I have used this protection in peak bug season in the Olympic Mountains. There were times I was very grateful to have this piece of kit.
