I ask a lot of advice here but don't give much so here is an attempt. My current hammock set up is in my opinion a great option for someone just getting into hammocking. Here is is
Grand trunk skeeter beater pro
$60 ish
Poncho liner underquilt
$5-10 on eBay easy to make no sewing.
Guide gear tarp 8.5X8.5
$20 on sportsman guide
Walmart down mummy bag
$75
So for $165 and a little work there is a working set up. One suggestion if I was starting over I would have gotten the grand trunk ultralight skeeter beater. It's 9.5 ft long and would fit that tarp better. Also if weight isn't a consideration you could get a synthetic bag and save some $$$. I have taken this setup to 37* no problem with a small bit of CCF pad under my feet and a bit of reflectics under my buttox. I hope this helps someone as so many others have helped me! Let me know if you have any questions.
