Hello to all of you here....
I am newly retired, 5' tall, single woman,....looking for easy backpacking hammock system....lightweight...AND easy.....so I thought I'd try to glean some knowledge from the experts. I've never used a hammock...and it has been many many years since I've slept in a tent. Nonetheless....I'm planning to begin in Maine...and then hike in South America and Europe...so I need easy, packable option.
Then...what about when there are no trees?....so I guess the system needs to be able to go to ground when necessary....
This will be my home away from home....I don't want an apartment...or stuff....this will be my life...
I have an Osprey Sirrus 36 backpack...but might go to a Mariposa....lighter weight pack...
If any of you can point me in a direction...thanks in advance....Easy, lightweight hammock, bug net, tarp....hanging/suspension system...

Muchas gracias...merci....see you on the trail...
