In Bushcraft and survival, we love to use tarps as they are lightweight and versatile and can be pitched or hung in many different configurations. The problem is how to enjoy a tarp without being plagued by mosquitoes, flies, spiders, ticks and other vermin. Enter the IBNS! Manufactured by Catoma and in current use by the US military, this pop-up bug net is the perfect solution to bug proof your tarp. While they can be expensive new, they can be found in great condition on the secondary market for a very reasonable price. As a matter of fact, I purchased mine for only $20 US!
