Hi- I'm gonna do this trail in January. I don't have my trusty tent that served me so well on the AT. I do have an ENO double nest hammock with the tarp, screen, and straps. Got it new and cheap from someone who only used it a couple of times. Its all together on the heavy side plus I'll need an under quilt or something else for warmth. I plan to buy lighter straps as well since they seem to add the most weight to the system.
Question is- before I invest more $ in this system- is hammock camping a good idea on this trail? Some have said yes and some no. I really don't mind a night or two of not being able to hang, but if it is a continuous problem I would break down and buy a tent.
