A good pillow also helps. But don't forget to not sleep completely parallel with the hammock, You will want to being laying in it at an angle so you will lay flatter.

I picked one up at Walmart for 50 bucks.
Came with the bug screen, the rain fly, everything needed and is made for two people giving me even more room....... Even came with a sleep pad..... Terrible pad, but it's there.

My first camp hammock was the ENO Double nest that came in the One Link system. I have added a few things to it over the years, like the underbelly gear sling. I suspect that the Krua Koloa i backed will replace that as main hammock. Never seen the one at Wal-Mart, I will keep my eye out.
Nice. Never heard of then before
Just like anything else. No matter how simple it looks it will be a pain in the ass to do it the first time. Set up my camping hammock and rain fly for the first time together in the back yard. It took way too long to get it mostly correct. I figure it will take five or six more attempts to dial it in. Tonight I will try and sleep well in
Nice
interesting, how well does the tent pole bug net set up work when the hammock is loaded with a human?
Pretty well, I didnt see anything to worry about. The poles are pre-curved so bending is minimal. The only down side it that it is not No see um mesh. The poles can also be removed to be used as a regular hammock but the bug net would need to be removed also.
that is a big WTF
Yeah. I will contact the company and see if they plan to release one. If so, it would be easily interchangeable. If not, i still have a bug net to go around it.
Nice. Looks good.
I just can't get comfortable in a Hammock. I like being off the ground. However in the Cold they just suck. In the Eureka I can setup the stove to keep me warm. The snow piles up against the fly and seals you in... You can't hang a Hammock by the fire without ruining the fly or becoming a Hammock s'more or run a stove...
Underquilts and insulated air pads are friends in a hammock during colder weather.
Nalgene bottles filled with hot water and my Old trusty dusty North face -20 sleeping bag keep me warm. MSR stove still does the trick also....
