I'm new here so Hi all,
I'm starting to think about getting a hammock and was wondering if some of you could point me in the right direction. Basically I am a bit of a light-weight camping enthusiast, a minimalist if you will, into doing long hikes and cycle rides etc with minimal equipment. I have used bivy bags and bivy tents but am finding them a bit limited and frankly not as comfortable as I would like. So I am starting to think a Hammock might be the way to go.
I live in the UK, where it gets bloody wet sometimes, so that is a major consideration. I am guessing it's best to get a seperate rain tarp for this, if so can anyone recommend one of those as well? Lighter the better obviously however I want to find the right balance between lightness and comfort. Bugs don't tend to be a major problem where I am however a flynet might be nice to keep off some of that morning dew.
Thanks in advance,
Ian
