walksomewhere newbie Registered: 03/12/12 Posts: 11 Loc: California	I am considering purchasing my first bivy bag for summer use when I go solo, but I would prefer not to spend a fortune for one with built in bug netting. Do any of you sleep with your head exposed? Do you think a mosquito head net and a beanie over the ears is sufficient to ward off creepy crawlies? Thanks! PS: Did sleeping in the open freak you out the first couple of nights? Are you over it?
