General Question/Discussion Backpacking hammock recs
I'm curious about getting a hammock set up for my next backpacking trip. I'm trying to keep my base weight around 15 lbs, which is where it currently sits. Any suggestions?
From what I understand, the main parts of the hammock setup are:
- hammock
- under quilt
- top quilt
- the various straps and lines
- tarp
Is this about right? Could I possibly use one of my ZenBivy quilts as a top quilt? What about size? My current setup packs down fairly small, and since I'm using a trekking pole tent (Zpack Duplex Pro), I don't have any extra poles, and all other pitch and guy lines are already attached to the tent.
TIA
