OK, so GSMNP has these draconian requirements that everybody MUST stay in shelters along the trail, unless they are already full. I am hammocking, and I really have no desire to attempt to sleep on those hard wooden floors crowded in with a bunch of snoring party animals. Are there any particular strategies that one can use to legally avoid having to stay in these things without having to time your arrival at two in the morning? Do these rangers track you down somehow if you are stealth camping a mile off the trail halfway between shelters? I fully understand their desire to reduce impact, but I believe hammock hanging, adhering to NTLB principles, are actually better for the environment than tent camping by a long shot, and one can avoid flu pandemics, unnecessarily uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, and shelter mice by snuggling into a nice blackbird out of the way. I also don't want to have to haul around this old two lb thermarest if I don't have to (I THINK it has a very slow leak in it and I really can't afford a neo-air right now, which seems to be the pad of choice for lightweight hiking). I'm 57 and can't sleep on rocks like I could when I was a kid. Any suggestions? Thanks!
