    Hike or Hang

    So what's the most important to you?

    Do you enjoy the hiking during the trip more or is it the time spent in camp, the hang? Or both may be equally important.

    For me it's the hang. I like to put in 4 to 5 miles and then set camp for the day. This gives me time to do things with my son, let the dog play and just give me plenty of hang time.

    So what is it for you?

    I absolutely love hiking and take Kiba on day hikes almost every day. But, I do like to do longer more strenuous miles when I know I'm going to be sleeping nice and comfy for the night.

    I would say they both are equal. As long as I'm in the woods, I'm happy.

    I hang in order to hike. I've been a hiker for a lot longer than a hanger and took up hanging to give me access to more camping spots.

    That said, when out with a group of hangers, I also enjoy hanging out together in the "piney woods."

    Hiking is my first love in this poll, the hang at the end is the cherry on top of a good day.

    I love the peace and serenity of hiking in the woods, and then I love to kick back in my comfy hammock to ponder it all and give thanks...
