[pct-l] Hammock for the 2010 Campaign

[hiker97 at aol.com]

Once again, Switchback, is on the cutting edge of backpacking evolution.  I am now considering the Hennessy Camo Survivor Universal hammock for my trail adventures.  See www.hennessyhammock.com.

I want to get it with the insulation system, so I can use it in a big storm.  It will take some getting use to setting up and taking down, but should be easy after a few practice sessions.  I asked some PCT thru-hikers a few seasons ago how they liked their hammocks and they said they were fine.  You can use it on the ground too if needed.  

Most people who use a hammock say that they would never go back to sleeping on the ground.  Plus, it is a great chair or lounger as you eat your meal.  If you are a stomach sleeper, a hammock may not be for you.

The only problem is that a bear might think you are a big food cache hanging there.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
