The lightest, most comfortable night in the woods. A gathered-end hammock, tree-friendly suspension straps, an underquilt (or pad) for bottom insulation, a bug net, a tarp, and a top quilt. Sleep above the rocks and the wet — but insulate underneath; the wind under you is cold.

FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Underquilt — why?
Because compressed insulation under you (a sleeping bag) does not insulate; the wind under the hammock pulls heat from your back. An underquilt hangs BELOW the hammock (uncompressed) and is the only reliable bottom insulation. Without it, you freeze from below.
Hammock over a tent?
For forest camping (trees), yes — lighter than a tent+pad, more comfortable (no rocks/roots under your back), and faster to set up. For above-treeline or desert (no trees), a tent is the only option. The hammock is the forest camper's luxury.
Bug net?
Yes in bug season — a built-in or separate bug net keeps mosquitoes and gnats off your face. Some hammocks integrate the net; others are modular. In bug-free shoulder seasons, skip it for weight.
Tarp over the hammock?
Yes — a tarp (asym, hex, or rectangle) over the hammock is the shelter; it sheds rain and wind. The hammock is the bed; the tarp is the roof. A small tarp for fair weather, a big one for storms.

Hammock kit and my ultralight kit share the underquilt-is-non-negotiable gospel — compressed insulation under you does not insulate. The tarp is the shelter; the hammock is the bed, agreed.
