I can't imagine lighting anything in any tent.

Was it earlier this year or late last year, on two separate week-ends, here
in Georgia, we read reports of adults and kids dying of carbon monoxide
poisoning from a stove lit to "heat" the tent!

I've used a military jungle hammock as a shelter on many short AT trips. They
are light and extremely comfortable once you learn to set them up correctly.

I made myself a hiking staff that breaks down into two sections for ease of
transporting. It just so happens that the sections slide into the hammock to
spead it. Allows me to kinda kll two birds with one stone.
