[pct-l] Hammocking in Northern CA

[Ed Jarrett]

I am prepared to "go to ground" should that need arise.  It would not be overly comfortable, but what is compared to a hammock.  One of my reasons for using a partial underquilt with a pad is to having something between me and the ground if necessary.  And the hammock and tarp could be rigged as a tent if needed.
I will have a support car that I will meet up with every few days, so if I know ahead of time that I will be on the ground, I will just bite the bullet and lug a tent instead for that section.
