    I think I am ready

    On Sunday I will be leaving for my first trip without a tent. I have been on several overnight hangs with a tent in the car just in case. Or with a friend who has a tent where there is room for me if needed. When I bring my hammock I never use my tent backup. So here it goes I am ready. My pack is all packed I have my hammock, two tarps, one for the hammock and one to cook under if its raining. I have an under quilt and my sleeping bag to use as a top quilt. I will be going for a week to an North Manitou Island. I am ready and excited can't wait. I will post a trip report when I get back.

    Best of luck on your trip. Pictures or it did not happen.

    Glad to hear that you tested your gear before the trip.
