Pic of my first overnight backpacking trip
Hello,
I have been peak bagging for years with day trips, and camping all my life, but never been backpacking.
This weekend using years of lurking knowledge I set out on an overnight at altitude to collect 6 of the NH 4k footers.
Just wanted to say THANKS! I decided to go with a hammock for weight/price and I slept solid through the night.
See you out there.

Welcome from the Tennessee hanging delegation.
Wow! great pics, i think you will find backpacking easier if you leave the 10'x20' deck at home next time!
So what 6 did you hit?
I'd be interested in how you scheduled it....
Looks Nice ! Myself new to this Like to do My first hang soon. I got geared up but never did it. WarMace Looks like a great area.
Dropped my car off in Lincoln, NH then got a ride to twin Mountain, NH.Originally Posted by G.G.
Twin Mountain Trail head to
North Twin Mt.
South Twin Mt.
Zealand Mt.
Guyot Mt. (Not counted as a 4k mountain)
Spent the night at the Guyot Shelter purely for access to the only spring water I knew of at my elevation. I Killed 7 Liters in 2 days hiking. *Photo B
West Bond Mt.
Bond Mt.
Bond Cliff *Photo A - I am sitting on the cliff
then descended to the parking lot with a detour at Franconia Falls for a bath.
23+ miles
Some would recognize it as the eastern half of "The Pemi' Loop" (plus 2 mountains) but I needed an extra day off to do it as a loop.
I convinced a coworker to get a hammock and we will both be back out there in 2 weeks to get some more peaks.

Welcome to the forum. A great first time in a hammock and a solo. Thanks for posting.
