Here are some pictures of my hammock set up. The winter set is the most descriptive of how the hammock hangs and the underquilt. They will also give you an idea of the "room" in a low hang ready for battle with the elements. There is not much head room and you have to crawl in, but it works. The tarp is large so putting unused gear on the opposite side of the hammock as the entry keeps the space more open on the side with the entry. Note the trash bag ground cloth - this is a necessity in my book, on any ground. Bags work best because you can wrap your shoes/gear up in it if the weather goes to pot so wind blown rain won't soak them even still. It is just extra protection that is nice.

The small S biners on the triangular split rings are how the underquilt attach - one in front, one in back. Shock chord/bungee chord structure lines on the underquilt keep it snug against the hammock.
