I was hanging in the cosby campground this weekend. Always good to remember that you can do everything right and still face danger. Sad for the bears.
I've developed an irrational fear of lightening in my adulthood. I used to love thunderstorms, never bothered me in the least. About 7 years ago I was out for a run, several miles from my house and...
It is small, but it's comfortable for me. I'm 5'10, 220, so not really a small guy, pretty wide in the shoulders. I can nap in it, but it is definitely not for prolonged use, probably about an hour...
For day hikes, I take a Superiorgear DayLite hammock (4.25 oz) with hummingbird straps (1.55 oz). Super light and packable, good for a restful hang.
Not for backpacking but my wife got me a nemo stargazer chair. Also got a $100 REI gift card, might be put to some new shoes.
I'm a hammock newbie, so I don't have any advice, but maybe some encouragement. I recently spent my first night in my XLC out on trail. I had the same issue, just couldn't get my legs comfortable. ...
I just subscribed, looking forward to listening.
Oh that's a great idea. That's what I'm looking for, I'm going to test that out this weekend.

Great advise, thanks all.

Hammock Newbie question here. I'm not new to backpacking, but also not super experienced. I'm going on an overnight on the Foothills Trail in a couple of weeks, going to be my first night on trail...
