This one! I have a Warbonnet Yeti that has served me well at about 300g. If you carry a little net tent- mine is from Yama mountain gear, and a short inflatable pad, it is a cost of less than half a...

Motor power or human power?If it is human powered, there are some parts of the middle that lack trees. You might want to take a pad and bivy to go to ground when that was the case. I have hammocked...
Rev, thanks for the links. My wife got a new machine, and has willed her old one to my shop. As a newbie, the guidelines are great. I used to teach middle school, and every year a kid would sew his...
That is a really nice idea. I carry a pair of whoopies, but when the trees get too close together your shorties would really help. Thanks!
No sleep and shivering is a pretty big penalty!
I have a minifly, and it does the job really well. It is light, takes up no space to speak of in my pack, and protects in the weather. I keep it in a net snakeskin. Set up close to the hammock it has...
If you can't scoot your strap high enough on the tree, you might be hanging on trees that are too far apart. If you hang on trees that are a little closer together, the attachment points can be...
I've lurked here for several years, now that I am retired, it's time to get out more. Hanging since 2016, WB XLC with HG DCF with doors. Whoopies or straps, depending on how much I care about weight....
I'll take it. Sounds about right.
Third in line!
Doors attached is the way to go, especially in a wet climate.
I have the HG single cuben sleeve. It's great because it avoids the problem completely. Slides over, curls up, compacts nicely. The only problem is it holds water, but that will happen from rolling...

I ha a standard with doors. I don't mind carrying the extra ounce for the doors, because they are so easy to use- either to clip away or swing down. I wouldn't use anything smaller. The winter palace...
Every day above ground is a good day. Celebrate being alive!
Thank you!! I backpack above tree line in the Rockies every summer, and want to lower my pack weight with a tarp and net, but also want to hammock on this side of the country. Your response helps...
SilvrSurfr-
I see your posts fairly regularly. We think alike in many ways, but I do not own a hammock yet. I think I want a WB XLE in 1.7 single, probably with a CF Standard tarp from HG, and a...
All righty then! Doors it is!
