I think that I have everything?

[jasonb986]

Well I am going on my first hammock camping trip on friday and I think that I have everything that I need. The low temps are expected be around 45-50.

1. Eno Doublenest
2. Superfly Tarp (will receive it by Thursday), 3 season backup tarp
3. Sleeping bag UQ
4. Sleeping bag TQ
5. 500 tent stakes
6. 1 Million feet of rope

I also made a single pole hammock stand, incase there aren't two trees close enough to each other. I can tie one end of the hammock to a tree and the other to the pole.


I think that I have everything covered, but I feel like I am forgetting some.

You don't have my neighbors...



Seriously, though, is this going to be a car camping trip where you can bail easily if things go wrong? If not, make sure you test out your gear before leaving. The single most important item you can take with you weighs nothing and costs nothing but time and effort: experience. That knowledge you carry around in your skull is the single most likely thing to help you on the trail.

If, however, you can bail easily, then you should be okay regardless. Things might just be uncomfortable rather than potentially dangerous if something goes wrong.

Hope things go well!

yeah. if it's just one night then bring a tent you're comfortable with setting up as a backup. It sucks to setup a new tarp/tent/hammock in the dark, especially when you can't find everything in your bag as the sun is setting.

also, at 45-50 the UQ and TQ might be overkill, but I'm sure you'll realize that in the middle of the night. Your might also be a freeze-baby



get your tie-outs all ready (length of shock-cord with a length of other with prussiks)

bug net? maybe?

Dude! you forgot about the all important "One more". Bwahaha. You'll never have everything you need because you will always find you need just one more somthing. Hang comfortable and warm.
