At the beginning of the VN war, they devised a shelter that would keep tou off of the ground and protected from skeeters -- the jungle hammock. Like I say, it was a good idea,\.
We set up on a place called Frijoles Island in Gatun Lake in Panama. The Panamanian Air Force (mosquitos) were fierce in the jungle and seemed to be having a convention on Frijoles Is. They were so thick at night that if you let your arm rest against the mosquito net, you would wake up with tracks following all of your veins. These skeeters were well versed in the vascular system of humans.
When you got into your hammock, you had to be extremely quick, as the skeeters would join you on the inside and had no where to go except at your blood.
Now see if you can envisikon this. I set up my hammock and decided to be extremely fast in entering. I quickly unfastened one side and quickyl jumped in -- and out the other side, completely destroying the thing. The rest of the team got a big kick out of that and the skeeters gorged themselves on my blood all night.
