    I have the cloudburst. Works well! But you have to pay attention when setting it up so that the RR doesn't poke it.

    The first time I ever used a hammock was my first night on my AT thru-hike attempt last year.

    Never put a hammock or a tarp up before. In the pouring rain.

    It was not ideal! Ah memories.
