Please PM me and I will help you anyway I can. Hammocks are terrific and once you learn how to set them up they are much less of a hassle than a tent. I will be glad to show you some of the gear that works for me and help you with yours.

Since you live around here, one of the other problems I have is the low number of trees up in the Rubies. Do you just plan your trips carefully? How do you solve for it?
