Thank you will consider it, what size tarp do you hike with?

I have a 11’ cuben fiber tarp and a 10’ war bonnet hammock(actually have many hammocks but this is the one I use the most)

A big tarp is nice but it can limit what trees you hang between. That extra foot is a no go sometime. My 10’ sil nylon tarp keeps me just as dry but it’s heavier by 8 ozs.

You need to try them out. It would be a mistake going on a big hike like that without trying them both out.

Some people simply can’t sleep in hammocks and some can’t sleep on the ground. The biggest negative to hammocks is the need for trees and your gear isn’t with you.
