Thank you kindly! Appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Diamond, because is the most economical on pegs and guy lines, the easiest and fastest setup. Thanks!

I like using bigger tarps. I don't like using tarps that just barely cover a hammock. I know you can make them work in harsh weather because I've done it, but ultimately I feel it makes for a claustrophobic experience; too much like a tent for my taste. I like hammocks not just for comfort but also because of the exposure. I use a 12x10 tarp and tend to go for a lifted A frame for 3 season uses; essentially a mainly flat hanging tarp with little run off and full 360degree views. Typically I tie out the corners to other trees to keep all the lines above head height. I don't like using stakes and rocks unless I have no alternatives. In driving rain I just bring down the corners and maybe add a couple mid point tie outs for wind. I typically put the tarp ridge-line 1-2 feet above my hammock ridge-line. Then in the winter, I use an A frame with the corners pulled in for doors, using a 14x12 foot tarp that has a tun of tie-outs for pulling walls out and away from the me. I've even added a hot stove jack in a tarp to turn it into a hot-tent. Works decently. I've had it around 3C internal temp with -22C outside before. It's not air tight but makes a big difference. This one I'll set only a few inches above my hammock ridge-line, digging it into some snow if it's an option, thus letting me essentially have walls right down to the ground.

Thanks for sharing. I like the idea of a hot tent, have seen video of a few people using them on KZread; would like to try that in the winter!

That was really helpful; thank you! Seeing hammock tents on KZread, I've always wondered how they are done. It's so easy now you've explained it!

Awesome, thank you!

I camp in a hammock for the comfort , ventilation and the ability of laying in it and being able to look around. The Diamond is easy to do , quick to set up and offers ventilation and the ability to look around 360 degrees. As you said , it only requires 2 ground stakes. The side benefit it it also keeps you dry in a good rain storm. My rain fly is a 12 x 10 and has 14 perimeter tie outs , two tie outs in the center of each side and two end tie outs. It can be set up in any configuration.

if you rotate the winter setup by 90 degrees, you get guy out points on the sides. Pegging those out (especially to a tree or via a branch) will give you more room inside.

That's a great tip, thanks. Though a smaller area does warm up more; but definitely worth considering.

very informative thank u

Similarly to you, I also prefer hang my tarps under the ridge line to prevent chaffing. I even do this with my Aquaquest Defender tarps. Even the toughest of tarps eventually will get worn through if you regularly set them up hanging over the ridge line in windy conditions. I might make an exception to hanging my tarp under the ridge line with a canvas tarp, but even then, if there are ridge line tie outs, why not use them?

Yeah, I agree - it seems the best way to me.

OK, hammock tent is a setup I've never thought about before and I can attest it's superb for sleeping in a double hammock with your girlfriend. 👍
