>>330722my first time innawoods with a hammock. Its a grand truck hammock, with the aftermarket tree slings... I used it for a section hike of the AT. obviously my rain fly situation was fucked up. I used my poncho but it wasnt long enough. Had to make due...next time Im getting an ultralight (4 oz) 6x8 tarp for my fly. other than that it was awesome.
pointers:
-set it high off the ground.
-30 degree angle, not completly horizontal
-make it tight, but not too tight!
-if your angle is too steep youll end up in a fetal position at the bottom and that fuckin sucks.
