I’ve hiking the JDF in British Columbia, Canada using my casual hammock (had an integrated bug net) and my own janky tarp rig for wind / rain and I loved the experience… Looking into getting something more, better designed specifically for hammock camping

Hmu with recommendations!

**Thanks everyone for the help, I ended up going with the warbonnet black bird xlc. I’m excited to see how it turns out when it arrives.

    I use the Hennessy Expedition when I go out hiking/camping and have really loved it. It’s asymmetrical so you can lay a sleeping mat down at a small diagonal and lay down comfortably. I’m a stomach/side sleeper, so that’s been a super nice feature. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s really easy to setup and pack away and will last for years

      I still can’t nail stomach sleeping in the hammock, even in my eldorado. It’s a shame because that’s how I sleep 99% of the time at home, but in the hammock it just doesn’t ever quite feel right.

        I basically use this guys setup myself. The thing that made it comfortable for me was also using a sleeping pad inside of the hammock. It might sound odd but it helps keep it from bunching up around you and spreads your weight out a bit more. You can also try sleeping slightly diagonally, this also helps spread the weight and make it more comfortable.
