    The worst part of it is to sleep apart from my wife. I love cuddling on the bed

    We got rained on this weekend.Worst part is drying everything out so it won't mold up when I repack the pack.I have gotten a new appreciation for camping and hiking in rain but changing clothes under a tarp is a real pain for me but I can't say a tent would do any better.

    Hmmm... worst part is scouting out a camp after a long day of miles, getting set up and then, while exploring your new home, finding an even better site just a bit farther down the trail...

    Slugs. In the White mountains during the summer season, small slugs get into and on anything on the ground. Boots, water bottle, anything. And so get mashed if not seen. They leave their slimy trails too. Yuck.
    Since I retired, some times I stay awake all day, some times all night.

    Those are crazy! Certainly seem to be attracted to smooth surfaces. I was packrafting in northern Michigan and they were all over that thing by morning.

    The worst part of hammock camping for me is Sasquatch’es,they are down right ornery boogers.At night they love to play hammock twirling,( a version of cow tipping ),they wait until I’m asleep,then two of them will grab each end of my hammock and spin it like a jump rope before running off laughing.��
    I’ve also caught them peeing on my campfire and pooping in my boots.I set up my trail cams,but all my pictures come out blurry,and fuzzy.................In spite of dealing with Sasquatch,I love hammock camping!

    Really enjoyed this spot.. Sunset on one side and sunrise on the other. If we a babbling brook and some dancing girls I'd call it about as as good as it gets. Is that my head in between the trees??

    Really superb, and another even superber one nearby!

    I thought it was sasquatch hiding behind the tree, but upon further inspection...
