    Looking for lightweight netted hammock and tarp

    I'm a lowly ground/tent camper, looking to possibly expand into hammock camping. Because I'm not sure if I'll like it yet though, I'd prefer to try some used gear to save money up front.

    I'm not 100% sure what I want, but looking for something like this to start:

    Hammock:

    - 11' asym hammock with net. Could be a chameleon, darien, half-zipped, or anything similar.
    - Ideally a light material like Hexon 1.0 or MTN 1.2
    - Suspension I'm pretty flexible on since I don't really know what I want. Leaning towards something simple like dyneema straps & a continuous loop, but if you have other buckles/etc I'm open to ideas.
    - Would like underhooks or similar to attach an under quilt

    Tarp
    - I know the least about this. Just want something with decent coverage and lightweight. Not looking for any super-tiny tarp though - this is one area where I wouldn't cut weight for lack of coverage.
    - Open to both sil-poly and DCF. Not interested in sil-nylon.


    Possibly open to buying a 20f-30f underquilt if you have a good deal as well.

    Also, apologies for a similar thread I posted a couple months ago. I missed notifications on it to email but added the forum to my email whitelist and

    Still looking? If so you may want to bump it at least once every week. Items that are inactive are subject to being removed from the Market Place area, it allows members to know you are still interested and it will keep the moderators from "pinging" you! (Bumps mean to respond in the post)

    I have a 11’ Hammeck hammock that I would sell. It is an asymmetrical head right/ feet left. I converted to a Ridgerunner, so I no longer use my Gathered end hammocks. I weighed the hammock and suspension separately to give a better idea of weights. I also have a Hammock Gear custom 30 degree incubator to sell as well. I paid $150 for the hammock, but would sell for $100. The underquilt was over $300 new, but I would sell for $220. I also have a 2QZQ underquilt protector that was $46 new, selling for $30.
