Has anyone started making affordable grizz beaks?

Also am I really the only one using snake skins?

Was out in the woods last week, had a shower while I was waking up and boy was it lovely to hear the rain hitting the flysheet.

That looks so lovely man, good job!

Nothing wrong with fairy lights if they make things cozier plus it looks like you can take the hammock down quickly to get out sharpish.

yeah, the RAs weren't thrilled w/ it, but it was a nice alternative to the rock-hard mattresses issued by the school

I have snake skins on my hennessy, but that hammock feels a little tight compared to some other ones, and it doesn't get used as much anymore. If I had to carry it camping, or if space was an issue, it's top of the list of choices. But if I'm at home or car camping, I have a couple wider ones that are a little more comfy.

Snake skins are pretty nice though.

Yes. It's fine. It's everywhere, it's cheap. You can get stand along mosquito nets or rainflies or underquilts that fit them. I sleep in one, indoors, maybe 3 or 4 days out of the week.
The only reason to go more expensive, is that the expensive stuff comes as a package, instead of assembling things piecemeal, and some of it is engineered for a specific purpose, like Ultralight stuff.
If you're just trying it out, ENO is the way to go.

Personally I find them a little small, but for a first hammock they work great. Grab a double nest. I think the accompanying rain fly is a little small and the tieouts subpar; your milage may vary but desu a dd hammocks square tarp in a diamond would be better.

I use snakeskins. But they were free with my Hennessey. Not sure if I'd ever have bought them if they weren't thrown in with purchase. I imagine pretty much anyone with a Hennessey hammock uses them.

For a hammock? I would say at least the same length as your hammock. Figure when hung and your in, your hammock ridgeline is about 90 to 80% your total hammock length. If you have a very short hammock you might add a foot. If weight is a very serious concern, an asymmetric or diamond tarp will save weight in a more useful manner imho.

Confy.
If you can fall asleep as soon as it gets dark and get 8-10 hours of undisturbed sleep in a tent, you might not need one.
But if you ever struggled to get a good night's sleep on the ground, they're a godsend.

If weight is a concern, get a silnylon tarp instead of a traditional plastic or canvas tarp. It may be a meaningless distinction for most people, but I have seen people in the woods with silver home depot tarps and that is fine if you don't mind the weight.

No problem. If you like it, get an underquilt that fits under it and you'll like it even more. I got a relatively cheap snugpak underquilt. If it moves a lot, you can make some attachment points on the side of the hammock to tie them together 3 or 4 places on each side. This can be as simple as sewing pieces of cord onto the hammock and quilt and tying them together, or you could go crazy and rivet snaps on for a professional look. I made soft shackles; a loop with a button knot on one end. I sewed those on the side of the hammock and used existing loops on the underquilt to put the shackle loop through and fasten in around its button. Keeps it in place, nice and warm.

I wasn't going to mention materials in a size (and shape) question but yes. I'd actually say skip silly silnylon for silpoly. Thay hits about the sweet spot for cost/wt. Absorbs less water. Haven't spent the coin for a dyneema tarp yet but I like the food bag in it.

It's too late, I'm hopelessly offended. I'm going to cry into my absorbant silnylon tarp.
I didn't honestly know they made dyneema tarps. I'll have to check that out.
