Hey, welcome to the forum, Manymiles.

Have you planned for insulation below you? Are you using a pad or am underquilt? That's the first thing I'd think about - the other's are simply details.
Enjoy the BB.

I have a ccf pad to start with........

But if the over night temps are in the 60's or 70's am I going to need it/???

Do you have a sleeping bag? You will be amazed at how much heat will escape from underneath you. Convection. Pads work to get rid of that, but are not comfy. Do a search for summer Under Quilts (UQs).

You need all you mentioned(not shockcord though) + a sleeping bag
And a lot of time to enjoy your hammock:-)

There are many vendors. These are just proposals.

And you actually do not need Whoopie slings, Continuous Loops or Dutch biners. WBBB comes with a suspension.

Tarp Ridge Line and Tarp Guy Line can be made out of cheap rope.

Stakes. Use sticks found on the trail.

Instead of 2 Carabiners or 2 Dutch Clips the Tree Huggers can be looped through it self.

You can sleep on a foam pad with a sleeping bag.


Best,
Blaze
