I’m contemplating a long hike (for me) and plan to use my Dutchware Chameleon and UGC silpoly Hanger tarp. I’ve been reading lots of thru hiker posts and watching a lot of thru hiker videos to get an idea of what to expect from many days of hike/camp/sleep/repeat. One thing I’ve seen is people choosing to spend a day or more hunkered down in their tents when they experience really bad weather (prolonged cold heavy rain, thunderstorms, snow, etc.). I’m wondering what hammockers do in those situations. As much as I love my hammock, I’m not sure being confined in one for 24 hours or more would be “fun” or comfortable.
Has anyone been forced or chosen to stay in their hammock for a prolonged period? Did you just vary your position in the hammock or did you “go to ground” for some part of the time so you could move more and not feel locked in a burrito? Any tips to make that more tolerable would be appreciated.
Thanks
