I have a jetboil, but I am also considering a titanium stove that could burn wood, thereby saving the weight of the fuel. Of course, this would likely extend the time...
Good advice, SnrMoment! I have some experience hiking and backpacking in Montana---enough to know that you are spot-on about the cardio! I have been hiking locally on such hills as we have for...
Thanks, LuvmyBonnet.

My Daughter loves to spend Spring Break in Utah. Recently, I persuaded her to acquire a hammock. (it's an ENO Doublenest; I use a Hennessey Expedition Asym.)
She returned the favor by planning...
Keep the Velcro. The weight is negligible and... well, you never know...

I prefer to allow the dead to rest in peace.
There are plenty of other places to hang---especially in a National Forest.

You are going to love this place.
Sounds like a great rig, and Oregon is one place I have got to get into before too long. (Montana, Wyoming, and Washington kinda got in the way...)
Enjoy!:)

If I am camping in a campground with at least one other person, then it is likely we will have a campfire, using one of the existing fire rings.

I loved hammocking since my first night. I thought my camping days were done because I could not bear lying in a tent but hammocking has saved me.
Enjoy!
Somewhere Jack Webb is smiling.:D
