Hi All,
I'm hiking the Long Range Traverse in Newfoundland this summer with two friends. Due to the gear we have, I'm looking at taking my HH Expedition for my shelter. I'm almost certain I won't be able to hang every night due to a lack of trees, so I'm planning setting up my HH on the tent pads provided (wooden palette like structure) when I can't hang. I can't go tarp only, the bugs are notorious on this trail.
My question is what to do about a sleeping pad. I could bring my HH radiant double pad, which could be used for both ground and hang. Or I could bring my JRB Nest UQ for hanging and an inflatable sleeping pad for the ground. Does anyone have experience sleeping on a radiant pad on the ground? This is the lightest option for me so I'm leaning "heavily" towards it.
Side note, is an emergency blanket ok for a ground sheet, or should I pick up some tyvek?
Thanks
Mike
