>>777056Basic common sense as to direction of pitch in relation to wind and terrain features, just like with anything.
3x3m tarp will give a generous A frame over most hammocks, and you can get bigger (4.5x3m) or ones with attachable (or integrated) doors if you want to seal it up.
And to all the haters, the weight of a large tarp and non-UL hammock is roughly equivalent to the that of a 1-2 man tent.
I've been more comfortable in my hammock in winter storms than my pals in tents.

>>777214bro, tents have poles bro,
also bro, tarps are one 2d flat piece of fabric and bro, you know bro, tents usually aren't.
>>777391All about that insulation. Just like in a tent you're not going to sleep without a sleeping bag and a pad, and expect your tent to keep out the water - In a hammock you have bottom insulation (pad or UQ), top insulation (bag or TQ) and protection from the elements (tarp).
I used to use a UQ but too much hassle with setup so now I use two CCF pads, they're only R2 at best so I overlap in the middle ( 'V' shape) so theres double under my core. The sides curl up over my shoulders similarly to an UQ and helps with wind gusts. Been good down to -10C
