A good 20-30 degree set up should be good most years. Occasionally we have odd winters that would need more insulation. I'm a warm sleeper and just use my 20 degree setup year round and just change...

I would also like to join in any Oregon hangs, I live in the Salem area and would love to meet other hangers.
Hello from Salem! I'm happy to see we're getting more hangers in our state.
My dutch bling is the best part of my setup right now. I have the tarp wasps and fleaz and they are amazing! Once the storm passes up here, I'm going to have some fun hanging around.
Before tonight I had only used someone else's hammock. I finally got all my dutch bling and daisy chain straps so I am currently hanging in my backyard. I wish I didn't have work tomorrow so I could...
I'm sad to hear that others are having trouble with the site. I was able to make an account, place an order, and just got the email saying it shipped. I'm excited to get some dutch bling for my set...
I am so excited, I just placed my order. I waited to see how long I would want them and went for a test run of my hammock in my yard with the straps it came with. I couldn't even hang because they...
Amazon isn't really that much cheaper normally. I got everything except for my Hammock on amazon because there was a really good sale going on, but if that is not the case it is about the same price...
Sleeping pads just aren't really comfortable for me. I'm new to backpacking and have found that the comfort level is immensely better in a hammock. I still think I'll stick with my tent and twin...
I bought a larger tarp than I probably need just for that reason.
I'm hoping that I made good choices that I can eventually recommend to others.
Thank you so much! I've been trying to keep a positive outlook because I had to go with really budget options. I've tried to search for suggestions from this site and no one even remotely suggested...
I can't wait to get my hands on this! Now I just have to decide how much I want.
I am really new to this. I honestly didn't even know backpacking or hammocking were things that people did until a couple months ago. I have now gone on three backpacking trips, one in a one man...
I've been wondering about this as well, to me it looks like it would be better to use as the pod system that they show rather than just an under quilt. If it can be used this way and eliminate the...
If you have any questions when starting out, Shug's videos are a really good place to start. He has a lot of videos on hammock set up and if you are a visual learner, like me, it can help to see...
I agree that an adult sized hammock would be best, especially if you invest in one that is known to be of excellent quality and will last a long time. I'm barely over 5 foot tall and still enjoy the...
Serac Hammocks

I will definitely buy some! I have something similar that came with my hammock, but they are too short in my opinion and heavier per foot than yours. I am still at the stage of wanting and idiot...
Search on amazon and look for an lesser known brand that has good reviews. I just started my set and it cost $120 for a 11foot hammock, tarp, and bug net. I just searched what I was looking for and...
I think we just need to spread the word. I didn't know hammock camping was a thing until a few months ago.
Basic sewing skills are really all you need to start most of the DIY hammocking projects that I've seen. Just be aware that it will take time, and to take your time to do it right. Don't rush through...
It is definitely worth checking out.I've seen some of Shugs videos and he talks about some of their hardwear, but it never crossed my mind to check there.
I'm trying to get all of the components for my set up and am trying to save money. I've ruled out diy because it doesn't save enough money to be worth the effort for me. I've seen a few start...
This always happened to me before I learned that on my machine, you have to start with the needle on the fabric. If you are new to sewing and don't know your machine, this could be it.
When I was on my second backpacking trip, I ended up being the one in the hammock (I was borrowing all of my gear from people in my group). I slept very well that night(even though I hung it too...
