Hey guys,
I am pretty new to hammocks, and have not yet actually gone hammock camping. I am hoping to go out in 2 weeks with my girl friend and I plan on getting off the ground for the first time. I can't wait!
I have an ENO doublenest and atlas straps already -- I bought them a year ago to lay around and read in, but I do not yet have anything else.
Do I need anything else other than a tarp? I will be in the Sierras and I will be using my blue foam pad and a standard backpacking sleeping bag as well.
Anyways, I see a ton of advice here and it all is great. Some day, I plan on shelling out some cash for a really good set up. You guys are already enabling me and giving me too many good ideas of things to try. This weekend however, I really just want something easy as an emergency shelter if it rains.
So, what is the absolute cheapest/easiest tarp and tarp set up to use? (I am a bit short on cash right now). Also, I would like it to be fool proof, I don't want to run into problems when I am out in Yosemite. Size and weight are much less important to me for this first run than the price and ease of use.
Thanks guys.
