So basically it goes like this. Hang hammock between appropiatley spaced trees, run another line for tarp you hang over yourself, anchor this tarp to the ground, a piece of something underneath your sleeping bag, then sleeping bag and get in.? I see this forum was moved here and I have looked for past posts to read up on but haven't been able to find them. Can ya all bear a few questions,
1. Do the hammocks have a spreader bar, like the Hatteras style here? Do you carry one and insert it at night or does it just kinda coccon ya?
2. My feeble brain says it would seem to work well in the rain?
Is this the case?
3. Size wise verse a backpacking tent? To carry?
4. Do you need to carry something to not harm trees you tie to?
5. Did ya see how I used the word bear and didn't get scared?
6. Availability of hanging sites?
Thanks.
