One  thing you didn't mention that you should be thinking about, is how 
to stay  warm in the hammock.  It's a serious issue.  I've found just a  
pad to be insufficient.




That is correct.  In addition to the pad it is necessary to have a  good 
sleeping bag.  I wore extra clothing when the temperature hit the low  30 degree 
mark.  A hat and gloves were also very helpful.  If one has  a Clark Jungle 
Hammock (as I do) the pockets under the base of the Hammock,  stuffed with 
clothing or leaves or the like, will add insulation.  There  are ways to keep warm.  
If one has a Speer Hammock then a Pea Pod can  provide additional insulation.
