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.

Agree with the advice for Warbonnet.
Both me and my partner imported Blackbird XLC's. She's using my old Hammockgear Incubator UQ and I use a full size Wookie.

Superfly as shelter.

The setup has just been brilliant. Comfy, easy setup and quality feel to all of it.

It costs a bit, but getting the proper stuff is well worth it in my opinion.
I slept well in the $20 hammock I started with, but it just lacks in all those creature comfort areas once you get some more experience.

Good luck OP and ask if something is confusing.
