[pct-l] Fwd: Hammocks during ADZPCTKO

[AsABat]

Confusing that they say you can use a freestanding post system but then mention underground water and electric. I can't imagine they wasn't you digging holes deep enough to hold a hammock.

I've seen some creative use of the short phone poles that line the roads there, but it involved lashing taller poles to these. Of course you can buy freestanding hammock frames at big box stores but these are heavy and bulky for backpacking. Maybe we need a nanotube version
