    First Overnight!

    I my first ever overnight backpack trip with my hammock this weekend. i am just looking for a few pointer to make this trip the best as it can be *** far as hanging is concerned. I have a ENO DN with inexpensive tarp for now. I have not picked out a bugnet yet but this time fo year there are not many critters flying about just yet. All advice welcome! and thanks for all the great wisdom on here!

    Make sure you lay a pad or nice thick blanket underneath you to prevent convective cooling.

    Treat all your clothes and gear with permethrin spray. I swear by this stuff.

    As Insaniac99 mentioned you'll need a pad or thick blanket underneath you. And I wouldn't count on there being no mosquitoes (or ticks, or flies, or spiders) so treating your clothes and hammock with permethrin would be a good idea. Or at least bring some bug spray.

    Dank Lemons... what a name. Welcome to the forums!

    The Sawyer brand I just used on my stuff is 0.5% permethrin.

    I'm gonna assume it's the same stuff then.

    thanks guys! sorry I couldn't get back on earlier. But it went well! I did bring some bug spray and went the whole time without a bite! slept ok. I was a little chilly but other than that all was well. I am looking forward to going back out soon. We went to Mohican State park in Ohio, if I didn't say that already.
