I am a newbie about to make my first MAJOR purchases to start a life of hanging. My wife thinks this is just a phase I'm going through so I'm out to prove her wrong. I have learned so much from the past month from many of the HF members and I'm looking forward to continuing to learn even more. I want to begin my hammock camping not necessarily at the bottom and pure by piece out my gear together. These are the things I'm looking to purchase to start me out. I'm not looking to make any other big purchases soon, other than an awesome UQ and possibly a TQ.
If you're a hanger, could you check out my list and offer some 2cents? I totally get a love the HYOH and ultimately that's what I'll do, BUT... I would love to hear your thoughts. Any good or bad purchases or experiences with any of these?
