I use the following
Tarp
DD tarp, sometimes a 3x3 or a 4.5x3 both with 5mm External Ridge, with Internal Ridge line with Prusuic loops for hanging items and Mosquito net from, using 3mm Bungee for Guy lines.
Hammock
A DD Hammock either a Frontline or a Travel, with a Home-made Underquilt, now suspended on Whoopie slings, Tree Huggers, Krabs, and Marlin Spikes
I tend to use a Army Sleeping bag as a over quilt.
and for a pillow a Fleece pocket that I can put a jumper in.

Since I started hammocking I've found I can't look at a stand of trees nowadays without wondering if I could hammock there.
I use;
DD camping hammock with foam mat or *80's era foil lined moon bag in the zipped layer.
A fisherman's Lounger type sleeping bag and envelope style (opened up) sleeping bag as top cover.
DD MTC Tarp or issue tarp and sometimes a 58 poncho as a tarp plus a midge net as required.
Bungees (an army habit) and loads of paracord for ridgelines, inner and outer.
I shortened my webbing to about a metre and added carabiners. I use the excess webbing around the tree and have doubled it and use spaced knots to make it tighter - a tip I saw on the tube.
Top tip;
For those that still use the small hammock stuff sack - take off your fleece and stuff it in the sack leaving one sleeve hanging out. Pull the drawcord to close bag and turn sleeve inside out, pulling it over the stuff sack. Hey Presto! No need to take a pillow.

I do that! hammocking seems pretty addictive, I now find that I change my walks to include any group of trees to check out the possibilities for hanging
