Welcome aboard Nachoman.... I sadly missed the trip to the island but we ended up on the MRT for 3 days/2 nights.... Look forward to meeting you, I took my GF hammock camping a couple of times this year, she loved it. We stayed under one tarp snug as two bugs, she didn't want to hang by herself....

Welcome from Florida!

You can certainly cut down significantly on that 6.5 pounds you are carrying by going to a hammock! Even in your North Pole winters (compared to Florida) you will be lighter.

But more importantly, you will be far more comfortable
