Though I am not new to backpacking or camping, I came here about a month ago completely clueless about hammocks. I have to say, it was a bit overwhelming at first. So many ways to achieve the same thing it took some time to sort it all out. I ordered my first hammock (the easy part) and while waiting for it to be made and delivered, I had to figure out how I was going to make it work once it arrived. By doing some research on past advice given in this forum and by reading a lot of new advice being given daily here on HF, I learned a ton.
I still have a lot to learn but I will tell you this:
When my hammock arrived, I was able to hang it without an issue as well as the tarp I purchased. With a few choice pieces from Dutchware (clips, stingerz, zing-it, etc...), my hammock (Dream Hammock) and tarp (Wilderness Logics) went up without an issue. I didn't need anything else and I didn't waste any money on the purchases that I made in advance thanks to the info here.
So ya'll keep giving all of us noobs advice, because it absolutely helps. THANKS!!!!!
