This is all you guys fault...

**McRat** · 07-07-2011, 11:02

So after a while of reading and lurking, I finally decided to order up a WBBB Dbl 1.1, a BMJ tarp with pulls, and a set of carabiners from Brandon.

I have a mess o' groundpads, stakes, line, etc. Is there anything I should need additionally, or am I pretty much set to hang as it is with room for mods later?

Thanks.

You'll need some bottom insulation (pad or underquilt) to avoid Cold Butt Syndrome (CBS) and a sleeping bag or topquilt for topside insulation. You're off to a great start with those gear choices, however.

Yer welcome and what beep said. Be ready to begin the lusting after an UQ (love my Hammock Gear Incubator) after trying the pads though...just tryin to help a smidge more.

Being that it is summer, you can probably forego an UQ by using a cheap fleece throw between layers of your fine new hammock.

Welcome to the cult.

Welcome to the HF! Sounds like you've got a great start going!

Maybe some seam sealer for the tarp tie outs?

Good to note. Thanks.

I have seam sealer, but I didn't think of sealing the tie outs.

I will NOT take responsibility for your addiction. (I don't take responsibility for mine.)

I have that very config, although the biners serve other purposes after moving on to whoopies and straps. Pads are great for a start, you can then determine if you want to stay there are move on to UQ's. Plenty of info here on HF about the endless choices, mods, accessories, etc.

Happy hammocking.
