    AT-Thru Hike

    Greetings All,

    I have been a lurker/ infrequent poster on this site for some time. I got into hammocks about a year and a half ago and have utilized the expert and friendly advice of the members here to compile a good, lightweight rig for myself, primarily for use on my upcoming AT thru-hike. I'll be heading SOBO starting July 6th , and thought I'd share a link to my journal I'll be keeping. I always like stumbling upon journals from other hammock campers and thought some of you would enjoy reading.

    http://postholer.com/journal/viewJou...7&event_id=817

    If link doesn't work, go to postholer.com and search for user name zanaridg

    Again, thanks for all of the hammock-related help. I don't think I would be carrying a hammock for the AT if it wasn't for this site!

    - Dom

    Awesome! Looking forward to following your journal. When you get close to Maryland, I'll try to catch you for a short hike, or at the least some trail goodies!

    Have a great hike and thanks for the link to your journal!
    Might just see you in Sept. Our little trio will be just south of Shenadoah and we tend to see a lot of Sobo's on our hike. Be safe!

    Hi Dom,

    Will be headed SOBO beginning June 23rd...Maybe see ya out there if you catch up to my wife and I.

    I have to agree about this statement:

    'I don't think I would be carrying a hammock for the AT if it wasn't for this site!'

    Same here.

    Best of luck!
