Another convert. Congrats for taking the plunge. For me I never sleep better and it's kind of hard to get out of the sack in the morning it's so comfortable.

Never going back to the ground.
Ever. "
What type of hammock did you end up going with?

I got a Dutchware Chameleon and and ENO Housefly Rain tarp. I used my old mummy Bag from Hyke and Byke and a borrowed underquilt that Muddyfeet made himself.
My son had a borrowed set from Muddyfeet. All homemade because that's how Muddyfeet rolls. He is a mad scientist. My son also slept well but desires a flatter lay. We will look about for a hammock that suits him.
My trip partners woke up each day sore from sleeping on rocks and roots, sliding off pads, etc. Never going back. I still have a lot to learn. Thanks for all the help here.

Sweet - happy to hear things went well for you! Other than when I trip/camp with the wife, I'll never be on the ground again either.

I buried a 12' 6x6 in my backyard just so I could put out a hammock. Glad yours was a successful trip! Hope mine goes the same way next month.

Little cinnamon bun - that's great. Glad you enjoyed it.
