Hi! I'm new and ready to learn all there is to know concerning hammock camping. I am planning on hiking the AT in 2034. I have a small child I have to get raised before setting off as this is going to be a spiritual awakening for me, I'm sure! I haven't purchased a hammock yet. I have been researching hammocks and like the ruggedness of Claytor hammocks but am also leaning toward Hennessey. Until I hike the AT I will be doing backyard hangs(I live right in the middle of the Cherokee National Forest) and backcountry hanging so weight isn't a consideration just yet but I do want to be able to hand it down when I upgrade to my "trail" hammock. I was told Claytor hammocks aren't long enough. I am assuming for slack purposes, I'm not sure what that is about. I'm on the Facebook Hammock Forums and I have been reading your all's files and perusing Derek Hansen's website for suggestions and recommendations. Thank you all so much for having me and feel free to weigh in on any suggestions/recommendations that you all have. Thanks again.
