OK, I've spent some time motorcycle camping using a very small, cheap hammock. I like the concept, need something that stretches less (mine had a series of cheap nylon-looking cords bringing it up to the central point) that's a little larger. I'm starting into backpacking and would just assume sleep in a hammock rather than a tent if I could help it.
I will be using a sleeping pad rather than an underquilt for the foreseeable future. $$$. I like the 2 layer 1.1 oz traveler. I live in Idaho, and can often avoid mosquitos. If I need a mosquito bag later I can get one, but I'd rather have the option of not using one if I want.
I'm 5'10, 175 lbs. I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these, but need confirmation first... then to decide on which suspension I want... then to decide on what I'll use for a tarp...
