Replaced my Hunka with a sealed option w/ bug net

Don't bother buying a hunka, just sleep in sleeping bag.

Not done this myself but I've seen people on YouTube using a mosquito head net when in a bivvy. Wildbeare was the main one i remember.

Mainly by avoiding sleeping where and when they are - near water, etc - and when they are mainly out, ie dusk / dawn.
If I get caught out during the night, I just ignore the little fuckers and hope they don't bite too much. But if I'm really awake, I'll just get up and ride.
It would be different if I was planning a long sleep that involved being in it for dusk or / and dawn. And I wouldn't use a bivvy if I was going somewhere I knew there were lots of mosquitos or midges.

I just changed my Hunkka for a RAB one for this reason - it has option to seal completely or use a bug screen. It's a bit fiddly to use, but seems the right answer

Question; how do you guys deal with mosquitos landing on your face when sleeping in a bivvy bag? I'm thinking about buying a Alpkit Hunka for the summer. I spend some nights in hammocks and this sometimes kept me up at night.
