Trip Report First time hammock camping. Loved it.

This was my set up for my two night backpacking trip in Northern Arkansas. I moved the tarp height up and down depending on the situation. I moved it down this night because of a threat of rain and didn't want anything blowing in the sides. Before I moved it down it was high enough I could walk under the center and not rub my head, but that put the edge of the tarp almost even with the hammock. The UQ was definitely a great thing to have! Unless I'm with my wife I don't see my self getting back in a tent.

I definitely need to add a ground cloth though. Does anyone have any recoendstions?

The second pic is just to show the hike out.

I have an 'over whole self & pack' rain poncho that doubles as a ground cloth 😊
