I'm shopping around for shelters for my 3-week solo section hike this summer from Springer to Hot Springs and have been leaning more and more towards a hammock. I was curious what the pros and cons of each are.
The tent I'm looking at is the Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1.
The hammock I'm looking at is the warbonnet blackbird.
I like the idea of a hammock - especially for summer nights. I'm a teacher and will only really be hiking in the summer. But I like the flexibility that a tent would offer in being able to move around a little bit more and try to organize.
I know there are lots of hammock die-hards and am not looking for a flame war - just some more input and opinions before I make a decision.
