    Using Hammocks in NewHampshire

    I'm thinking of getting a Henessy hammock to go backpacking with in the White Mountains up in New Hampshire. I'm trying to decide wether to just get a Bivy or get a hammock to use backpacking. Have any of you used a hammock to camp out in in this area? My Freind thinks the tree's are too small in the whites and I have not been there to see for my self. Neither of us have any experience with Hammock camping.

    Thanks!
    Andy

    Been there and done that

    see this post.

    Actually I was on the AT in NH last weekend, near Hanover.

    Up in the Whites you do need to work a little bit to
    find spots where the trees are sparse enough to hang.
    But you don't have to work as hard as you do to find
    an off trail site to camp on the ground.
