    Hi guys I wanted to introduce myself.

    I'm new to the hammock world. I bought a cheap hammock to get started soon after a backpack trip when I packed a heavy tent while my buddy just hiked up his small lightweight hammock.

    I plan on getting a down underquilt soon but for now, just a sleeping mat and maybe a mylar blanket set up like an underquilt. I'm using a pretty heavy tarp I bought off amazon. I'm doing it on a budget until I know what quality items to purchase.

    I hike and backpack in the Angeles Mountains mostly

    You're doing great so far. Do your research, and buy the right gear for your type of recreation and conditions you will be using it in. Happy hanging!
