    First time Hanging

    I am going on my first hanging trip. I will be in the Adirondacks for a week and I am taking a Hennesy Expedition Asym with an oversize fly modified to take a cross pole for rigidity in the center. We will be in a base camp all week. My question is do I carry a pack or would packing my clothes in a plastic tote be more advantageous and keep my clothes drier under the tarp?

    I assume your base camp is near your vehicle? I use totes when camping with a vehicle. Easier to get at gear and keep things organized and as you mentioned, easier to keep things dry. It also provides a little "bedside" table. That has been my experience anyways. Have a good and safe trip!

    +1 to what Bubba said. My only problem with totes is that I kind of over use them as tables, and then have difficulty when I need to get at what I've got inside because there's a bunch of stuff piled on top.
