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.

A nice inflatable pad to put between your sleeping bag and the hammock can make a so so hammock really nice. Not having a pad can make an incredible hammock miserable in the right temps. In my opinion, the place to splurge first is a nice pad like a thermarest. Then you can work on upgrading to a nicer hammock and then bag.
