Hello,
I've been lurking here for a while and finally decided to post up with a few questions I have. After a couple years of wanting and waiting I'm finally getting ready to order my first hammock and tarp from Brandon. I spoke with him over email and boiled it down to the BBXLc double 1.1 with buckles. I might switch to whoopies later on but I like the simplicity of the buckles to start. Anyways, my questions come on the tarp side of things for the most part. I was originally set on the Mamajamba, but after some reading on here I've been going back and forth with the Superfly also. I've read a couple threads with a similar questions and most seemed to recommend getting the SF. Is this still the consensus? Sell me on one. I would definitely like to get snake skins for which ever tarp I end up with. Any recommendations for those, specifically for those two tarps? I'll also need some guylines and maybe suspension hardware if I decide to go for that route. What is the "best" guyline for tarps? Zing-it? I'm pretty savvy with knots but I do also like the ease and looks of hardware. I was looking at the Dutch Flyz and Wasps. Also the buckles are cool if I decide on whoopies later. Recommendations, comments?
I'm still very new to hammock camping but I've been interested in it for a couple years. I'm happy that I'm finally diving in. Since the "summer season" in Colorado is pretty much started now, and I'll have to wait for the hammock and tarp to get here, I'll probably only get a couple trips in with it before things get too cold. Because of that I'm thinking I'll probably be able to get away with a pad and a fleece or poncho liner for insulation. Is that a safe bet? Recommendations on fleece liners? Next season I'll probably try and pick up a quilt or two.
Other things that a new guy should know?
Thank you.
