I want to thank everyone for the information. I have been doing some research and have narrowed it down. I do have 1 more question though...
QUESTION: I am 6 foot tall (72 inches). I am only...
I am 6' tall and am using a gathered end hammock (ENO Doublenest).
I want to thank everyone for their info. I'll check your suggestions out. Much Appreciation!
I have always used pads as my bottom insulation and am ready to take the plunge and invest in an underquilt. What are some of your favorite underquilts? And why?
You're most welcome! Happy Hiking!
This is exactly my set up...I am a hammocker and do not use an under quilt. I struggled with this for a long time. I could not justify the cost of an under quilt especially when it wouldn't fit all...
I absolutely love my Sierra Designs 600 fill Dri Down pillow. It is lightweight and extremely comfortable! I've never woke to a headache (which I get from air pillows) or a stiff neck!...

That's what I'm talking about! [emoji2]
Everyone referencing Scott's and kilts and what they do or don't do....really?? That implies the assumption is that every man who wears a kilt does so because of the Scott's. Scottish may be where...
Welcome from Indianapolis and Mooresville! Check out the Warbonnet superfly. It's a great hammock fly! And can be set up as a tarp tent using trekking poles too!

Also, an Underquilt is not mandatory. Yes, insulation for your underside is very much necessary! I have been hammock camping for 3-4 years now...
Thanks for the suggestion. I will be trying this!
Lol...Not wrong at all! Give it a try. Mess around with it. It is the most versatile tarp I've ever seen! This makes my second year using it. I am taking it on my Appalachian Trail Thru Hike next...

Thanks for the info everybody. I really appreciate it. I ordered the GG pad for hammocks (39"x60"X11/4"). Waiting for delivery. I figured I could cit it down however needed and it would satisfy my...
What do you currently use?
Has anyone used the Thinlight Insulation Pad 1/4" Thick made for Hammocks by Gossamer Gear? I was wondering how well it worked, how bulky it may be and how it was packability wise.
I know many are...
I guess people have opinions about ENO! My testimony is....I got an ENO doublenest hammock, atlas straps and bug net a couple years ago for Christmas. I am 6 foot and am quite comfortable in it....
Check out the ENO One Link System. It has doublenest hammock, atlas straps, bugnet, rain fly (choice between 3) and stakes all for around $200-220. You can mess around with the setup and figure out...
I've had mine a couple years now. Taking it on my Appalachian Trail Thru hike next year. I love this tarp! Can't imagine owning another!
Thank you DanglingModifier for the great info! I will give an UQ some more thought. I'm really torn...
My most recent thoughts have been to just use a pad. I don't want to go without a pad. I...
Thank you grannypat
