I have a ? For you guys that go camping in hammocks. I am going to Haiti for a week to rebuild from the hurricanes it sounds like we wont have any beds, so I'm going to take a hammock. What do you guys have and prefer to use?
 
Red's advice is good. There are a lot of good Hammocks out there. Your best resource is Hammock Forums. I'd recommend a Hammock from Dutchware Gear or BIAS Hammocks.

You'll also need an underquilt for insulation. There a lot of good ones from companies like Underground Quilts, Hammock Gear, Loco Libre, and Jacks-R-Better. I'd recommend a synthetic one.

For weather/rain protection you'll need a good tarp. For packability, I'd recommend a SilNylon tarp from any of the manufacturers above.

Good luck! Post pics!
 
I have a warbonnet blackbird with hammock gear incubator quilt and love it. Recently added a superfly tarp with some tent pole mods. Couldn't be happier.

Hoping for a top quilt for Christmas

Btw, I really like the idea of a hammock pigapalooza

Thanks for the ideas guys, I have been told to bring a personal fan as it is 80 degrees there even at night. Would the under quilt be necessary
 
In 80 degrees, probably not. However, if there's any wind it can still get chilly on your butt/back. You may want to search Hammock Forums for what other users are doing. I have an ultralight 50 degree Underquilt that I use in the summer.
 
Eno double with the bug net and rain fly. Slap straps. 2 figure 9 s binders. A helping hand trip in Haiti can give you a lifetime of bs disease. Make sure you take your meds and get screened before and after. Malaria, cholera, ect is an equal opportunity killer. Make sure you can make potable water and don't take any chances.
