The rest of your gear?

I consider the space under my tarp to be my tent with see thru walls. That's where I keep my stuff.

I hand it from a tree with some paracord, a Martin Spike Hitch, and a stick toggle. Works like a charm.

I typically keep my pack inside of a contractor/lawn & leaf garbage bag under my hammock. I can then use it as a night stand to keep my boots, baseball cap, phone, glasses, etc. high and dry and within arms reach. It’s not uncommon to go to bed high and dry and wake up to monsoon like rains here in Florida.

...Gear hammocks in the 3 to 8 ounce range with suspension are safe, secure, and relatively simple, so that is what works well for me. Even my biggest conventional gear hammock fits freely between my underquilt and the ground directly inline and under my hammock, and I can reach it from inside my hammock to stow or retrieve items during the night.

I've always assumed that a gear hammock hanging directly below my hammock would mean that my hammock had to be hung too high for me to sit comfortably in it with my feet flat on the ground (I'm 6' tall). I like to be able to sit like that.

And then I've assumed that a gear hammock hanging next to my hammock would bump me and be irritating.

Is there something wrong with my assumptions about gear hammocks?

I'm 6'2", a nd I usually shoot for a sit height of about 20"; as you can see above, there's enough room under my hammock and quilt to sling my pack and what I carry after my shelter system is set up.
