Air. Trapped warm, dry air is the secret.
Nothing beats experience, and bad ones at that. Just got back from a overnight trip near Blood Mountain GA. With the wind chill it was in the 20s. Two guys brought tents "because I want to stay warm". Two of us brought our hammocks. They froze, we slept like baby angels.

Quilts cant go wrong with most of the cottage vendors (I am a particular fan of Leigh-lo and Hammock Gear)
Tarps cant go wrong with most. Warbonnet Superfly seems the most popular option. I currently use one from Gargoyle.
Stoves are more individual tastes but most use white gas or Wood-burning during the Winter. Canisters don't perform as well at sub freezing temps.
I have heard mixed reviews on Alcohol for sub freezing temps. But some use it.
