[at-l] 4-day AT Hike

[orangebug74@yahoo.com (Orange Bug)]

You have a few choices. You could go and buy a tarp. 8 X 10 should be
pretty roomy for 2, with even the basic BigLots tarp not much more than
4-5 pounds.

You could go out and get him a hammock for around $65 for the original
Hennessey at REI or through the Hennessey website. This is very
comfortable warm weather sleeping, without much need for a mat.

You can chance the shelters, but depending on day of the week, you
could run into a group of flatlanders that don't understand shelter
etiquette. 

Also ,you can rent tents at REI and other outfitters to see if you like
the tent for later purchase.
