So as I mentioned in my introduction thread, I am going to Costa Rica. I am planning for April 1st - May 12th and will be backpacking through jungles, on beaches, down to Bocas Del Toro, Panama. My goal is to mostly sleep in the hammock instead of hostels to keep costs down and make the trip that much more exciting.
April-May is the start of the wet season and is why I've chosen to buy a Clark with the climate shield. I need the security of being able to stay dry if the rainy weather gets crazy. I have yet to fully decide on which model because they are expensive and you want to make the right choice. I've never slept in a hammock before and I am 'siked' to do so.
Is the only difference between the nx200-250 the tent pole option? Do these hammocks really weigh under 4 lbs? Are there any suspension methods for faster hanging and taking down already made out there or do you make them yourselves? I've done a lot of searching and seen people using biners or dutch clips but I don't see anywhere to buy them and my sewing skills aren't great. I'm looking to learn as much as I can as I will be by myself on this journey and can't afford to mess up.
Again I've been searching the forums and most of this stuff is probably asked but I can't find the answers I am looking for. Thanks for any responses in advance!
