Hi there,

I'm new to this forum and also new to camping in general since I've only gone twice in my lifetime. I have decided to purchase my own gear so that I can spend more time in the outdoors. Some research was done, but I realize that there is much information to consume....

Hammock camping sounds great since I can possibly load up the motorcycle for some trips. Therefore, I am leaning towards spending money on tarp(s) and eventually underquilt/topquilt. For now, I have a tent and will slowly build out my camping gear.

At the moment, car camping is what I have in mind until I'm more equipped to hike to primitive campsites (1-5 mile hikes).

With winter camping in mind, should I pick up a 12ft and 16ft Kelty Noah tarp for versatility as well as doubling up the tent layers? Or should I just purchase a single tent like the Warbonnet SuperFly tarp?
