In the process of gear packing for next years AT thru hike, I was looking into tens and options for sleeping. I personally own a MSR Hubba which I absolutely love. But its heavy, requires ground to put it, and bulky packaging because of tent poles. Now from what I've heard hammock camping is fantastic, I've had a buddy take his Hennessey on the AT for a week in June, and I gave it a try, loved it. Here's the question, if I sleep in that hammock with a lightweight feathered friends sleeping bag on the AT from March 1 til it gets warm, am I going to worry about it being too cold. Should I stuff my tent ito a bounce box and when I switch to summer clothes just change from the tent to the hammock, or is it comfortable enough in the cold that I shouldn't worry about a tent at all. Also, trees, how badly does it damage them?
