Remember...what ever route you take with your gear ( and I hope you go hammock ), be sure to test your set up under controlled conditions so if your set up does not work as planned then you have a place to escape to. If you do not have a yard to set up in then find a place you go on a day hike and set up your gear and practice like you were going to spend the night. I always test my new gear in my backyard before heading out into the woods with said gear and sometimes everything works like its suppose to....some times it does not.
I am still 18 but with 53 years of experience !
While I agree that hammock setups and ground-based setups for one person are similar weights, the whole equation changes when there are two of you and you're sharing a t*nt.

As someone who also has to deal with the Canadian Dollar vs USD exchange rate and customs duties, might I suggest you check out 'Little Shop of Hammocks as it's based in Saskatoon?

James ('Firesong' here on the forum) was very helpful to me in selecting my hammock and I know he makes quilts. I can't comment on them as I don't have one but certainly worth a look. If you decide to go that route, please let me know how it pans out as there are quilts in my future.
Hi. Just noticed this huge thread! Looking for gear is exciting and confusing
I’m located in Canada and can help you out as well. Feel free to send me an email. [email protected]
May be able to find something that fits you nicely without worrying about customs and the exchange rate.

probably anything i would say had been said above... don't have time to read them all, guessing there'll be some overlap. if nobody has mentioned it already, look for Shugs video about hanging in -40°F. It changed my life goals.
