I've got forty quid left over from Christmas...
I want to get some kit for hammocking
I've seen a lot of recommendations for DD hammocks because of their cheapness and relatively good quality.
So should I buy a camping hammock, cheap tarp and some paracord or should I save up for some better kit (bearing in mind that it'll probably take me at least half the year to save up enough for something like a Hennessey).

Cheers,
Fred

The TenthWonder hammock comes with tapes to tie up to the trees with a simple bow. For a tarp I went with their Sargasso hexagonal tarp. Again comes with tapes and guy lines also some wooden pegs. To be honest I make pegs when I'm ready to setup.

Yeah Ive been looking at the Tenth Wonder ones but if I got one of those, I'd have to go for the camo one, which has no tarp... And that would mean I'd spend more on the tarp than the hammock! lol
I think ill get the hammock and find a crazily cheap tarp somewhere else... unless anyone else has any ideas?

For a good value but cheap tarp nip along to Decathlon at Thurrock and get one of their tarps for £20 complete with guy lines pegs and poles. I've used one of theirs for over 18 months now and don't see any need to upgrade yet.
