[pct-l] hammock?

[shutterbugg313 at yahoo.com (Shutterbug steiner)]

I have tried sleeping in a Hennesey hammock, thinking that this would solve both weight and sleeping problems.  I found out after almost a year that I was trying to put a square peg in a round hole.  One night North of Walker Pass when I just could not get to sleep I decided to lay out on the ground and was out like a light.  Since then my hammock is used only on selective lazy day hikes.  Hammocks are not for everybody - try them out before you rely solely on them.

I'm betting you could. You'll probably limit yourself a little by
having to stop a little sooner or keep hiking a little longer than you
might want in a few spots. I did see one person in his hammock about a
mile below Marie lake las summer. To do it again I'd consider a hammock
if my wife wasn't with me.
