Looking to get setup for $400-500 range...I need a hammock, bugnet, underquilt, tarp, and backpack...lol. A tall order I know so I have to sacrifice from somewhere...I plan on camping in the low 40's and up, I'll use a sleeping bag for a TQ for now and most of it will be in Arkansas with horrible mosquitos in the warmer weather. Here is what I'm looking at, please make suggestions to keep me on the right path...
Dutch hammock with suspension $98
AE Jarbidge underquilt $100
Fronkey bugnet $57
AE also does the beginner pack for $215 that comes with a hammock, UQ, misc goodies, and a half bugnet but it worries me to go that route with all these mosquitos, Not sure on that yet.
That will leave $150-250 range for a tarp and pack. I really want a UL Circuit but I don't think I can splurge on that right now so probably more along the lines of an REI flash pack...and a tarp will likely be a Walmart cheapo for now.
Am I on the right track for a cheap but decent beginners setup?
