I am new to the forum and looking for some advice. I am planning on hiking the Appalachian Trail from Pennsylvania to Vermont this June. I am older (57) and larger (250 lbs!). I am trying to decide between a lightweight tent and a hammock system. I have done long distance hiking (The Camino Frances, The Portuguese Camino) but this will be my first time without lodging at the end of the day. My concerns are weight, comfort and protection. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, I am all ears.
