Hammocks? Such as Hennesey? Opinion?
Was reading about the hammock as a camping tent. It looks good on the net,
but is it really as good in the "woods"? I am planning on a cross trip next spring.. Start in NH, go to Wash and maybe beyond. In the past, I have tried the trailer ..:: did not like it, way too heavy. I pulled the thing up hills, it chased me down hills, the extra weight of the trailer drove me nuts, on the on .. Most of my touring has been with pup, pad, bag, and a flashlight. Lighter the better .. |

Lighter the better .. How well does it work without trees at the correct spacing, or without any trees at all? Of course, with that little rain, camping on the ground without a tent should not be a problem. Have you considered an xtracycle instead of a trailer? |

I'm sure that you will receive many useful suggestions now that everyone on rec.bicycles.rides has gotten a chance to know you. I have a suggestion regarding where you can stick your hammock... -- Paul D Oosterhout I work for SAIC (but I don't speak for SAIC) |
