I appreciate all your input!
Since it's not in my budget to purchase a second tarp we will most likely resort to use a tent,plus she wants the added security of a tent. But I will look into the double woopies.
The reason I choose 5 days was because coming from buffalo we don't have many opportunities to shoot out for an overnight. Not to say that a test night isn't in order but I also will be choosing a very nice introduction hike. I've learned my lesson taking a Newby into the wild without a proper shake down and a slightly too ambitious plan.
For us I've been mapping out loop hikes so it's not 5 straight ,and if after night 2 we need to hike out that will be an option. Also, I would never seperate from her or anyone else on a trip of such proportions
I love the idea of the surprise gift on day 2, nice touch.
Also the area we are heading will allow for either short days and lots of camp leisure or we could hoof some miles as we so fit.
It hopes to avoid bugs we are shooting for april, and to be honost we will be tenting, I was hoping to find a way around the small tarp for 2 hammocks but it's unattainable.
