I do things like this also. Ground sheet from reinforced clear plastic tarp, Hammock a DD hammock, tarp a standard 3x3, normally in diamond configuration, mosquito net some sort of off-the-shelf garden lounge extra; hung from string above the hammock, under the tarp.
I see all the commercial everything-in-one solutions, and I don’t like them. I don’t need mosquito net in the early afternoon. And maybe I want to use a bigger tarp for a grand awning, or something.
These things are important to consider, yesyes, and all-in-ones… aren’t flexible.
On the other hand I have to use lots and lots of string, so I guess there’s that .
I like the idea of a double-layered hammock where you intentionally made the bottom layer slightly larger, adding that warmth.
My DD hammock is a double-layered one. Same size layers. I can put a nice warm blanket in between and it zips up nice, but when I lay down, I flatten the blanket because the layers are the same size, sabotaging the insulation effect.
So frustrating, opportunity wasted :>
