re: Anyone hiked the entire Appalachian Trail?

Hammocks in the AT would be great. There are always two trees around. Practice setting up in the rain and dark. I also carry a small pad just in case I ever need to sleep on the ground. It works as a sit of in camp and under my feet in the hammock. Never had to sleep on the ground in ten years. And ive hiked all over the country. Get creative and you will always find a place to hang a hammock.

Tents are nice when in campgrounds and you need more privacy. Like I said both have pros and cons.

If you are like me and want comfort carry a hammock.
