Howdy Folks...

Hows things?! Hope all is well in your camping adventures....

Righto, Ive always been a tent/tarp/ under the stars man....but a mate & I are doing a kayaking expedition which is very space & weight critical (only squeeze stuff into 2 small white water kayaks) & we figured hammocks would be a simpler & less 'gear' option. I've had a quick squiz on the forums etc & while some of this has been covered before, can I grab your EXPERT opinions?!?! The expedition is for a week & in cold/ wet conditions....

- what in your opinion is the lightest (but still very strong) non bulky hammock on the market at present?
- What size tarp? 2 of us need to live in these hammocks under a tarp for a week. Thinking a tarp of either 3mx3m or 3mx4m.
- As a hammock newby, it looks like the whoopie slings are the way to go with tape etc around the tree - right?
- Any other good tips about how to incorporate 2 hammocks under a tarp?!?

Thanks heaps for your thoughts guys & I look forward to your responses....

Regards
