    Ultralight Hammock for Newbie

    I am thinking about ditching my tent (BA Seedhouse SL1) and the hard ground and trying a hammock. I tried napping in a friends ENO Doublenest this weekend and really liked it.

    I am looking for suggestions for a hammock set up lighter (or at least as light as) than my tent (2lbs 6oz). I am 6'-0" 160lbs and am looking at the ENO Pronest (54"x96" 13oz), ENO ProFly Sil (7'-2" x 9'-6" 13oz) and ENO Slap Strap Micro (4.5oz) for a total weight of 30.5oz but want to make sure that the hammock will be big enough (to use as a seat too) and the tarp will be big enough to keep me dry. Is there anything else you would suggest? I am open to anything but a HH (don't like the "birth canal" entry) but a Made in the USA hammock is a plus.

    Thanks.
