View Full Version : Hammock in Shelters
I know some have real strong opinions about this. I would like to start a thread on shelters that you can hammock in. The 1st rule on posting is that the shelter has to be big & strong enough to support us.
Yes I like to hang out away from everyone, but there are times I want to be at the shelter. I don't want to inconvience others inside. Winter when I can have the shelter alone or 1-2 people and stay out of the cold winds is nice.

In Pennsylvania:
-Tag Run Shelter- must bring your own hanging hooks.
-Cove Mountain Shelter south of Duncannon. (Thelma Marks) Has a strong center beam down the middle to hang from.
-New Darlington Shelter south of Cove Mountain. Same design as Tag Run - must bring your own hanging hooks.
-Peters Mountain - in the right rear corner- hang from the hook I left on the back of the stairs to the right rear corner.
The above shelters are big enough not to disturb most hikers giving them lots of room so they don't have to tiptoe around.
Maybe just put up with the extra 8 ounces and carry a closed cell foam pad for those occasions
not with my back. and I like to get a good nights sleep.
