Hey, massacre... something to think about... if you're going to be solo hiking, consider a Hennessy Hammock. This isn't an advertisement, I've got nothing to do with the company, other than being a satisfied customer. While they seem a bit pricey, they're WELL worth it. Frenchy can vouch for this too, he and I have discussed them a lot in the past. Your credits say you're in Cent. Il., if you'd like to try to link up and check out an Explorer Deluxe model, PM me, I'm about 90 mi. West of Chicago.
