Hello from SC

[Rooster]

Hello All. I just received my wbbb 1.7 dl yesterday and totally love it. I cannot wait to actually camp with it. I am new to hammocks and to camping. I would appreciate feedback/advice on my choices for my gear. I have a limited budget, so I don't want to consider more expensive gear. Many of my items will be from ebay.

1. WBBB DL 1.7
2. Warbonnet Superfly
3. http://gossamergear.com/sleeping/1-4-wide.html
4. http://www.usoutdoorstore.com/outlet...fhu=3137393139
5. Marmot Minimalist synthetic sleeping bag
6. Black Diamond Sprinter rechargeable headlamp (12 bucks on ebay)

I like the Osprey Aether because of the separate sleeping bag compartment and I have tried it on. To me, this is a very comfortable pack.
I also like the Golite sale going on.

You have some great choices there! Looks like you are on your way to a nice gear collection! The only thing that would be wrong with these choice would be if it didn't work for you somehow, although I doubt it.

Warbonnet has some popular, well made, well endorsed hammocks and tarps. I can't say enough about the Superfly for fowl weather / 4 season hammocking!

The GG pad is also highly rated, and has me considering picking one up. My Z rest has lasted forever though. If/when it ever becomes unserviceable, I think the GG pad will be it's replacement.

Toss a stove of some sort in there and you are ready to go! Head out, take some pics, post a trip report (with pics!) and enjoy!

Welcome to the hammock/camping world!!
