I've been doing a lot more backpacking this year. I upgraded to a Solong 6 tent that I love. Been using an older Thermarest Ultralight, which is a early Prolite model. Not very comfy though. Picked up a new Ridgerest solite for cheap to try out. Loved using it for lunch stops and easy to just throw in the tent and lay down. But my hips and back kill me. I'm trying to decide if I should spend the money on an neoair xlite or bite the bullet and get a hammock. I like the space to move around in the tent, but a hammock sure would be nice on these Tennessee ridges and overlooks where it is hard to find a piece of flat dirt.
