When I backpack with my friends I'm always the last to put my stuff up and the last to take it down. I'm the only one who hikes with a hammock What can I change or add to my gear that will allow me to go faster? When I'm using my tent I can be ready as fast or faster than everyone else. I spend the most time neatly putting away all of the lines and straps. I use an 11' hammock with a 12' hex tarp, 15' straps with dutch buckles, a quilt and an underquilt. The tarp goes on a ridgeline with prussics equipped with tiny stainless steel clips like a carabiner.
Before you tell me to just slow down and enjoy the slow, I'm considering a through hike of the AT and I don't want to hold up my hiking buddy.
