What is your recommendation for a starter hammock camping set up? (self.hammocks)

I've hiking the JDF in British Columbia, Canada using my casual hammock (had an integrated bug net) and my own janky tarp rig for wind / rain and I loved the experience... Looking into getting something more, better designed specifically for hammock camping

Hmu with recommendations!

**Thanks everyone for the help, I ended up going with the warbonnet black bird xlc. I'm excited to see how it turns out when it arrives.

cross posting my setup from a month ago.

im definitely a beginner with a couple other hammock outings but my setup worked great.

-camo tarp from harbor freight 11x9 i think

-Eno double nest hammock -hammock straps from some other hammock i have

-wise owl bug net (dont reccomend)

-marmot sleeping bag

-Underquilt Shenandoah -function-hammock-quilt/)

not the lightest setup in the world but it all worked very well and didnt break the bank
