Just wanted to get some feedback on AT hiking.
I will be carrying a tent for shelter but after reading through some postings/journals I was wondering if there was any sense to carrying a small lightweight tarp with me as well?
Was thinking it may be useful for sitting on at lunch, putting up before I put my tent up to help keep equipment dry when it's raining (I'm not keen on packing up a wet tent), or putting over the front of a shelter to keep wind down.
Is general consensus that it's a silly bit of added weight or something worth trying and sending home if I don't need it?
Anyone carried both a tarp and tent when hiking?
Cheers for help!
