It was recommended to me by the gentlemen who teaches basic hammocking at one of the REI stores in Metro Detroit. There will potentially be two others coming with me if all goes well, and all of us have only used the hammocks in fair weather and never to camp. I was hoping I could ask a couple questions, due to our novice status.
First: We each have a hammock and tree strap set up, sleeping bags (rated from 20-40 degrees), two of us have sleeping pads, and then basic rain fly's (approximately 10x10'). None of us have underquilts, as we're a little strapped for cash from now until at least this hang, and those puppies are expensive. Would we be alright for the weather with these items and additional blankets, provided winter isn't early and awful?
Second: One of our group is a veggie-saurus. Will there be anymore vegetarians? If not, then we will be sure she brings along food for herself.
Of course we will bring cash for the porta-john, as well as do our best to bring food to share.
If there is anything that anyone recommends that we bring based on previous experiences, or any advice whatsoever, it would all be appreciated.
Hope to see you guys in November! Sounds like a great time!
