Hi I have a hennessy hammock explorer deluxe side zip I'd sell. It's like new I only used it in the house. All the hennessys come with bug nets and you can buy the super shelter or an underquilt for the colder weather. I don't have a tarp for it but I'd sell it for $140.00 let me know if your interested and I can send you some pics when I get home.

Hi dlauth, I would check out Warbonnets website and Wilderness Logic.
At your size and weight I'd go with an 11' hammock made from 1.5 to 1.7 single layer.
The WB XLC or the WL Snipe with removable bug net would be great starter hammocks.
Both companies sell great large and small tarps depending on your needs.
I would check out Hammock Gear, WL, & UGQ for a very nice under quilts.

Might as well just bite the bullet and order from one of those cottage vendors.

Can't go wrong with any of those.

I'm only a couple of months into hammocks so I don't have a lot of experience, I've made four so far and bought a cheap one with an attached bug net from Walmart (great deal). I'm happy with the ones I've made and plan to use one on the CT next month, no bug net. If I were starting over I'd try the Half Wit from Dutchware and ask for the .5 oz no-see-um to keep the weight down.
