I am tentatively setting a start date for February 15th. So you may run into me along the way, depending on our relative speeds

Thank you for the info. I found Jay wanders out on you tube. It has been very helpful.

I appreciate the information everyone is providing, it sounds like I should be okay to start around mid February. I know to take precautions on having warm enough gear. I was concerned about it...

Apologies if this is on another thread, please post the thread if so. I am looking to start NOBO next late February and I am trying to find out conditions on the trail going north from Amicalola...

As many have stated, keep your tent for when there are more than yourself. You can also make you gear, but you could also do like I did. I saw an inexpensive hammock on sale at the local REI (it...

Liked, looks like a decent hammock

If you have not already, check out http://www.hammockforums.net , they should be able to give you good answers also.

There are many options out there, from closed cell foam pads, to inflated mattresses, to underquilts. A lot of it depends on what you want to spend. I would suggest you go to www.hammockforums.net ...

I have a Clark North American. After my initial cheapo hammock that is what I decided on. I like it, the pockets underneath are great for storage, and the weather shield is great when it is cold or...

As mentioned, probably you just put the sleeping bag in the hammock. The thing to remember, is that when you are in your sleeping bag, it compresses the bottom of the bag. That, in turn, reduces...

As many people have mentioned, it is not for everyone. However, I think if you can pick up an inexpensive hammock to try it out, that may answer your questions. For years I used a tent, and bought...

I have also used pads in the past, and they will work. As mentioned several times, you need something underneath you that will not compress. When you have compressed insulation under you (from your...

A lot of people use different pads. I have used both kinds, and personally I have preferred a partially inflated pad. That being said, I am transitioning to uderquilt. I think it all has to do...

The storage area will not hold a pack, except a small one without a frame, and empty. I have one of these, and although I liked it, but I am switching to a Warbonnet. What I would suggest is using...

As mentioned, or alluded to by many people in this posting....It comes down to courtesy. If there is room, and if it does not cause a problem, then go ahead.

I also have a 10x12 tarp. I thought long and hard about what size tarp to get, as the original one that came with my hammock was not large enough. I think, as mentioned by others here, that this size...

I also own on the the Clark Jungle Hammock North American model. I used it this summer on a 12 day trip to Isle Royale. I loved it ! As the others stated, it is a bit on the heavy side. There are...

I am planning on going to Isle Royale in July. Not having a lot of luck finding anyone else to go with, if you are interested. It's a 90 mile round trip hike ( well 88.8 per the map), over 12 days.

I am planning on going to Isle Royale this summer. I checked with them, and they allow hammocks if it does not damage trees. So that's a plus. I would imagine it is the same at all National Parks,...

First time posting, not sure if there is a thread on this already. I can't seem to find one. But I was wondering if there seems to be any restrictions on use of hammock in national or state parks. ...
