Need complete hammock set up by this Friday

[domromer]

So here's the deal. My wife and I have decided to go on a weekend long camping trip next weekend to Asheville, NC. We currently have a pair of eno double nests, a set of slap straps, a set of whoopie slings, and a bugnet. What we need is one more bug net and 2 rain flys. I looked on amazon, I have prime so I know If I order the stuff today it will be here by Wednesday. The easiest choice is go eno all the way. But they seem a bit pricy for the big net and rain flys. Could anyone here recommend alternatives that I can get from Amazon? I'd like to save a few bucks if possible. But not need to fabricate everything.

You could make your own bugnet- theres lots of instructions on here, As for tarps Kelty Noah tarps, Hennesy tarps, even a square tent footprint can work

If you're car camping then you could go with one big blue tarp from wal-mart for you both. Bug nets will be key and making your own would be best and cheapest but i'm not sure you could get the material in time.

I'd also advise you get rid of the slap straps because if you don't hang that hammock high, one of you will be on the ground in the morning.

Hammock bliss bug net... Get some kelty Noah tarps... You pick the size... Both should be prime...

I would also consider replacing the slap straps with their new Atlas straps or going with proper polyester tree straps. It would suck if one of you ended up on the ground due to excessive stretch of the nylon slap straps.

Cheers

That will save you time and allot of money

When using tarps you want to in each of your ropes have a baloon knot makes the tarp easy set up also I have found it quite nifty to pack 2 tent stakes per tarp.

A sleeping bag will suffice for a noob for now but in the long term consider getting a top quilt an under quilt as these are nice if you take hammock camping seriously. Or if you are a pad fan consider looking into an SPE or ENO hotspot as these will help prevent pad slippage thus gaining CBS (Cold Butt Syndrome). I hope my 1 cents will help if you want to learn more look at shugs noob videos he will tell you everything you to know about hammock camping he will talk about things that you should consider getting latter and now.
