>>639550Well there are a ton of brands to choose from.
If you want a mass produced hammock, brands like ENO, Yukon Outfitters, and Grand Trunk and DD hammocks are probably the big ones. Nothing wrong with them at all. If you want to just try a hammock out, get a Grand trunk ultralight. They are as low as $15 on amazon. You'll need straps to attach to a tree. ENO atlas straps are like $24.
If you want a more custom set up, brands like Arrowhead Equipment, Dutchware, Warbonnet, Jacks r Better, and Dream Hammock are custom made items, and very well respected in the hammock community. Hammock forums has tons of info on it if you're curious. Hennessy Hammocks are well respected as well, and offer integrated weather protection, no need to buy a separate tarp. Some people prefer their own tarp however.
