Hi - This is Stormrider from Bavaria / Germany. I’min the phase of collecting information about the AT .
I’d like to ask some questions concerning theuse of the Hennessy Hammock.
For all I know, these hammocks are quite unknown here inGermany.
Maybe this is due to thefact that in Germany, the timberline / tree line is at about 1700m;
I think on highermountain peaks in Europe there won’t beany trees to hang the Hammock onto.
I was very surprised toread that in USA the tree line is much higher than in Europe;
but I think thatnevertheless a lot of day trips on the AT will surely lead throughnon-tree-areas;
So– if you’re hikingthrough non-tree-areas and just in case you can’t use your hammock there:
Is it always possible toreach some lean-to / shelter along the way?
Or do I have to look for“lower” “tree- regions” at the end of each day ?
I appreciate your ideasand suggestions.
Thanks a lot
Stormrider
