So I personally have hiked for years all in the rockies I live in ohio now my girlfriend's mom is a thru hiker has done the AT but had surgery on her knees last year I have talked her into trying out a hammock (she made a bugnet deal with a home made tarp over it before) my question is I have never mentored anyone in using a hammock all my experience has been watching shug and trying stuff he does and seeing what works for me she is excited and terrified this might prove the end of her hiking she is 62 is there anything I can do to make this a more enjoyable experience she is allergic to down so I am at a lost of what to recommend we are planning on doing zaleski in April any advice would be welcome sorry for a long winded post lol I have included a pic of what she made and used before kinda of impressive to me lol and I have made a basic jungle hammock from the ultimate hang 2 for her to use and paired it with dutchware Beetle buckles for her thanks in advance for the help
