All in all a great response from some folks with a lot of hanging experience here... with the amount of mods and gadgets and doodads in use across the whole spectrum of hammocking, it can certainly be overwhelming to a newcomer!

This hammock is ready right from the box. You do need stakes (4), Get yourself a wallyworld blue pad for insulation use a sleeping bag and enjoy it. Russ and I hung like this for 1 1/2 years before we started modifying it.

Ah, pegs, of course! Thanks jerzybears.
Thinking of trying an opened up an old sleeping bag to use as an underquilt and seeing how that goes rather than buying a pad.
If the sleeping bag-as-an-underquilt will be inside the hammock, don't expect it to keep you very warm. You'll smash the bag and all of its warmth-trapping goodness.
When I was just getting started, I thought I'd go with a sleeping bag attached to the outside of my hammock and it turned out to be more work than I expected to get it attached correctly (never did get it to work right).
