    I routinely use a sleeping bag liner. It gives me an extra layer to regulate my temp, and it's much easier to launder than my sleeping bag.

    I normally try to find a place to bathe at the end of a day's hike, change into my "cleanest clothes," and rinse the day's hiking clothes (generally just T-shirt and undies). I have a section of...

    My schedule just changed, and I can now make it to the hang. Unfortunately, the campground is completely booked, so maybe I'll just plan to come up for the day on Saturday. If someone has room for...

    I generally hike in the spring and fall, so it gets dark at a reasonable time of day. I normally hike until about an hour before sunset, so by time I set up camp there's not much daylight left. I...

    I've been a tent camper all my life. I have lower back trouble so although I saw people hammock camping I didn't consider it because I didn't think my back would tolerate sleeping in a hammock. ...

    I just measured the pad straps in my hammock, and they are about 20" apart, but that's the outside dimension so there's maybe 18.5" on the inside dimension. The straps have a nifty elastic portion...

    Hello from Northern Virginia

    I've been hiking and camping most of my life, but I just purchased my first hammock after doing a lot of research and reading on this site. For the past four years, I've been section hiking the AT,...

    I just completed an eight-day section hike of the AT using the REI Flash Air Hammock, so I thought I'd add my feedback to this thread. I had resisted the idea of hammock camping for a long time...
