Nick inspired me to learn about stretching a tarp above my hammock.
This my first attempt.
The hammock is filled with a insulated pad and sleeping bag.
The tarp is tethered at several points, the goal is to have the tarpt high and gabelled.
Tips from: Hammock Marine
-) 68 degrees is when you can start getting chilled in a uninsulated hammock.
-) A underquilt goes under the hammack to provide un-compressed insulation. there are hammocks with a insulation-pad pocket.
-) Lay in the hammock asymmetrically instead of banana-style.
-) 12 to 17 feet between trees to give a 30 degree strap config as measured with finger-trick.
-) A ridge line should just be taut, I need to try this to hang stuff above me.
-) and from comments, ventilation is a big plus, but – to limit chill, limit the airflow.
-) oh also, hang low enough to sit, double hammock over to make comfy
