Looking for a hammock system to use for back country elk hunting during Sept. The weather is usually pretty mild anywhere from about 30 degrees up to 100 degrees. I am a runt about 5'7' 155 lbs and I am looking for advice on my first setup.
Honestly I never knew picking a hammock and accessories could seem like such a daunting task and as such I am leaning towards a completely ready setup like a Clark North American. I want to have skeeter protection, storage/insulation pockets, the ability to lay a pad down like maybe the reflective Hennesey pad, moisture cover preferably something that is big enough to use as shelter for other items like backpacks and bows etc. and is a pretty easy set up.
I am leaning towards a ready to go unit like Clark sells because I wouldnt know where to start to piece the stuff together. I have no sewing skills so making my own stuff is probably not feasible. I am going to sound like a cheap skate but could I piece some quality stuff together for less than the $450.00 or so I would spend on a Clark setup or are there other setups from other companies that are comparable but maybe a little less money? I don't mind spending the money for the right gear as long as it is quality stuff and not overpriced because it is a well known package set up.
Any reccomendations for other Hammock setups that would be similar to the Clark? Also I would like to hear your opinions on the Clark North American or NX-150 Hammocks.
Thanks
