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.

Warbonnet Blackbird is excellent. Warbonnet Superfly is also very good. That's my setup after I read about it on r/hammocks years ago and I love it.

That superfly is my next tarp, I think. I currently have the mini and love it, but I think I need something on the other end of the spectrum to balance things out. At least that's what I tell myself.

If it makes you feel better buying it if a random person on the internet said so: Go get it man.
It's a great tarp with great coverage.

I'd replace mine in a heartbeat should it ever fail or get worn out.
