Greetings from Austin!
Been on the site for a few years, life got in the way, back now and ready to hang!
Now that I'm older, and hopefully wiser, I think my bad joints will be happy to get off the hard ground. I'd like to hike the Lonestar Hiking Trail (100 miles) in the spring, and maybe the JMT by next fall.
I'm thinking of the DD Superlight Jungle rig. I like that it's modular and can double as a bivvy, as parts of Texas are desperately short on sturdy trees (Can you hang from sagebrush?).
I'm currently wading through all the wherefores and whatnots and videos and general n00b info in the forums, and they are much appreciated.
My only real question so far is this: What do you do with your (mammoth, expedition-sized) backpack at night? Chuck it on the ground, hang it from a tree (Are there hammocks for backpacks?), bag it up and bury it?
Other than that, happy to be here, and can't wait to get my butt off the ground!
