I've been really interested in doing my camping/backpacking in a hammock but have a few questions. First, what is the difference between an under quilt and just having a sleeping bag? I don't plan on doing any really cold weather camping so don't need anything extremely warm.
Is a sleeping pad necessary? Or is sleeping straight on the hammock plenty comfortable? Hammock camping is appealing to cut back on gear so I'm hoping to get away without the sleeping pad.
Is the $120+ tarp necessary? Or can any tarp be used?
I already have a hammock picked out just trying to figure out what accessories i need to go with it! Will probably be adding more questions
Appreciate any ideas you have
Thanks
