I've been wanting to try a hammock for a couple of years. This Spring I am going for it.
My hammock gear list so far:
ULTRALITE BACKPACKER A-SYM
No Sniveller quiltPlease point me to good hammock tip forums/discussions?

hammockforums.net seems to be the definitive forum for hammocks. Lots of info there.

Feb 5, 2010 at 10:28 am #1570140I'll add this one for general technique: http://www.tothewoods.net/HammockCamping.html.
And here's the site of the Blackbird, one of the most popular hammocks out there right now: http://warbonnetoutdoors.com/blackbirds.php.
All of my hammock gear is from Warbonnet. I have the Blackbird, tarp, underquilt, and overquilt. He makes great stuff.

I also contemplated a bridge hammock. There's a lot more out there than Hennessy – you might find something else will suit you better, it's worth checking out the threads at HF to see what others say.
