    I have almost the exact setup you mentioned, except a standard DN, not deluxe, profly not dry fly. I like the DN. I only have a few nights in it, as I am a noob. Many nights prior on the ground. The biners are bit heavy. I replaced them with some black diamonds, half the weight... The DN is comfortable to sit in, and I got a pretty flat lie. Atlas straps are the way to go. The Pro Fly is excellent. At Dolly Sods, WV a couple weekends ago. Had a down pour for 4 hours. My tent fairing buddy did not set up his tent and had a nice dinner under the pro fly. Us and gear stayed totally dry.

    We got two ENO One Link systems to start. They are very good. No, they are not the greatest thing out there but you won't be sorry for starting here.
    It's kinda like buying a Honda. It's super reliable and you're happy as can be with it until you realize you missed on the 'cool' factor.
    Anyways... it does come with a ridgeline, at least mine did. And SlapStraps. (yeah... get the Atlas straps) Here in Florida we get torrential downpours nearly every afternoon in the Summer and they last from five minutes to two hours, sometimes all night. I've been through all of it with my "too small" DryFly and me and my gear were completely dry. Yes, of course you can get more space under a larger tarp (duh). You don't have to go total ENO. Go with what feels right. That why we say HYOH.
    Good luck and welcome to hammock camping!!

    PS

    Although I don't own a hammock from one of our cottage vendors, I've met a few of them and they are good people who do good work at a fair price. If I were starting over (or just needed a sixth hammock) I would buy from them. FWIW

    I love my setup so far, Double nest, Atlas straps and guardian bug net. Works great, seems pretty bombproof and was the most comfortable I've been in the woods.

    Thinking of buying ENO

    I agree with the comfort of the ENO DN. I find it more comfortable than my HH or WBBB.

    Here is a stupid question. Where does the ridge line come from? Is that from the hammock or is that the line tied above the hammock for the tarp? Do I have to buy that line or does one come with it? Thanks.
    I have the exact same setup. I love it. I can take things off or add depending on conditions. I.E. I don't always use the bug net or the tarp. I really like my ENO.

    The only thing I wasn't overly fond of was the Atlas straps. I've since switched to whoopies. Other than that, I have no issues with my ENO SN & Guardian.

    Is the ENO gear a good beginner set up? Durable? And are they comfortable? It looks like the hammock will be in my face when I am trying to sleep.

    I look forward to your thoughts and opinions. Thanks, Scott.
    I'm baffled...your profile says you have a WBRR and a WBSF, neither of which I would classify as newb gear and it would be a step down to go to an ENO, in my opinion. Please clarify.

    Serves my need right now!

    I have and love my Eno DN and Gardian Bug Net. Rather than buying the Eno straps I opted to get the Kammock Python Straps form a local outfitter here in San Antonio. I like the set up as it is now it hold my 288lbs just fine. I need to get a better tarp and I'm looking and the cottage vendors for that because I think for the cost you get a better trap from the cottage vendors when looking at budget tarps. The setup could be lightened and will be once I get into backpacking, that is my goal this fall/winter. . Right now I'm basically car based camping... meaning walks to camp site are short.

    For insulation right now I've got the CCF blue pad form Wally world and the Eno Segmented Pad Extender. And and older Colman sleeping bag as TQ.

    With my setup I've been able to hang comfortably in temps between 20f and 106f. Here in the Texas Hill Country. It's not the most idea backpacking setup but it severs my camping style as it is right now so that is ok!
