Yo sc/out/s need your advice,
I got invited to some tropical Island called Dominica for 5 weeks start of February. They got pristine nature and miles and miles of trails in the rugged and unspoiled mountain landscape.
I'm an experienced hiker, problem is I am from the far north, Mountains, cold climate, having fun above tree line is my thing. I know jackshit about doing hiking in tropics. Can you anons from the sunny side of the planet teach me the basics?

I thought about bringing a hammock, I got a tttm hammock, and planed to buy a tttm mosquito net and a hennessy hex fly. Is that a usable setup? I've been told it is always sunny over there, save for the daily torrential rainfall.

Also hints on shoes and clothing? I assume sandals would get full of sand and mud on the trails, so rather some light shoe with good soles?

Plan is to do max 3 nights in the wild with stays at guest houses in between. So can you guys tell me about a good load out for a tropic weekender with lots of hiking?
