    Michele over at hammock forums is currently attempting her thru-hike with a hammock. Caution, the following is highly informative and entertaining:

    And lengthy, but a great read! You also get a good picture of some of the mental aspects of a Thru Hike.

    I did in 2004. See bearbaghanger on trail journals. Didn't have any problems with it. Slept in it 75 times, the rest of the time was either in shelters or motels. Never hung it inside a shelter. Also, I've known Hammock Hanger for about ten years and she has done almost all her hiking with a hammock.
    Don't waste time telling people what you are doing or what you are going to do. Results have a way of informing the world.

    I'm planning on using one the whole way. I'll let you know how that works out - especially considering a January start date.
