Hi Shrewd, big achievement. Congratulations man. Especially the year it’s been! We met that camp just out of Big Bear - ‘Ireland’ here. You remembered me from the AT when i’d carried a Uke. You look...

Thanks hutzelbein, that's a great idea. Hadn't
thought of that. Unfortunately I've bit the bullet and will be going to ground, no doubt seeing wonderful hangs all along the way!

Hi, I'm planning on doing the GR10 in the French Pyrenees in a few weeks, starting on the Atlantic Coast. Can anyone advise on whether I can take my hammock or should I go to ground?

2014 was a great year to thru-hike the AT. It took me a while (26th March - 10th October), but this was by design as I didn't want it to end. I started hammocking from Hot Springs (I bounced my...

Ireland here, now in Palmerton, PA (mile 1254). PA not as rocky as was led to believe, but have heard the worst is yet to come in the next 30 miles or so. Loving life, though I think I need to pick...

Hi there, 'Ireland' here. I'm sending this from a cafe in Damascus, VA. 467 miles already done!
Really loving life on the trail. Going slow but starting to pick up the miles. Will be ditching my 20...

I have both a warbonnet 1.1 double layer, and a 1.1 single layer. I'm two weeks away from an AT thru attempt. I'm planning to use my double layer. The only reason being that I'm told mosquitoes can...

Hi 4shot. Yes, I was ready for all the other reasons for leaving the trail, but not that one! Beware indeed :-)

Hey, Curious George, I'll keep my eye's out for you on the 25th! Not long to go.
Ireland.

4shot, in 2011 I started late (May 21st) thinking I could dust off 20 mile days from the start. I had underestimated the terrain. I got as far as Harper's Ferry by the end of August, and then decided...

I agree about the 12 foot ridge line being excessive. I got a HG standard (with doors), and 12 foot ridgeline; massive and compromised in getting a low pitch (hammock webbing gets in the way). I...

I'm starting March 25th, NOBO for second attempt. Trailname 'Ireland'. No blog or journal, just using facebook. Skipping approach trail, I hope. Last start was May 21st, so hard for me to decide...

Just watched the set up video which is great and really helps!! Thanks again.
Will be out in the woods again tomorrow night for more practice.

Hey folks, a big thanks for the advice. I think my inexperience shows! I'll definitely try the suggestions, and maybe slacken my ridge line a little. (But maybe subconsciously I've already decided on...

Hi, I'm relatively new to hammocking, and I'm finalising logistics for my second thru-hike attempt this March/April. Hoping to hammock from the get go. I recently purchased a HG cuben fiber with...
