Hi all.....I'm planning a section hike of the Appalachian Trail this summer. I'll be hiking from Nantahala Outdoor Center to Clingmans Dome. This will be the first time on the AT and to be perfectly honest it will be the first time I've spent more than a weekend on a trial. Any advice about this section would be greatly appreciated, but here's my question:
Since I'm from Arizona and I'm not familiar with the the wilderness in NC and TN I'm wondering what length tree straps I'll need. In AZ the I can get away with 5' straps, but I'd hate to find out my hanging options will be severely limited in the Great Smoky Mountains with 5' straps. What length tree straps do you AT regulars use?
