    What hammock(s) are you bringing to Mt. Rogers?

    I was just looking down the list of people coming to this hang, and it spurred this question in my brain. Most of you, it appears, favor DIY hammocks. And of the DIY hammocks, most appear to be bridges. So, in the interest of science (and just to see if I'm wrong about this,) I thought I would throw this out so I can get an idea of what we will see when we get to Mt. Rogers.

    (Also, purely out of self-interest, I was wondering if I could leave a hammock or two behind and lighten my load because someone will already have a similar model at the hang.)

    I had made it my intention to bring a Clark NA, a JRB Bridge and my Warbonnet BlackBird. I was planning on bringing extra gear in the case that a ground dweller was going to want to give a hammock a try.

    I plan to be wearing all my Warbonnet stuff and also to bring a DIY Bridge. Mule
    Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.

    My go-to hammok, the ENO DoubleNest, with all my Speer goodies to go with it.

    I will be bringing my modified Claytor clone. I am in the process of making another one with more mods. If I like the end result I will be using that. I am also making a 1.9 tarp & plan on using it also.

    1 homemade gathered end & 2 commercial gathered end.
    Possibly a 2nd homemade gathered end, depends on how ambitious I get tween now & then.
    When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.

    I apologize that the polls are limited and don't allow you to vote on one style more than once (enter a total #.) I was trying to figure a way around that, but figured this would work OK and wasn't going to spend a lot of time with it.

    So far, things look pretty even. Plenty of people out there who say they are coming that haven't chimed in yet, though.

    I'm outfitting 4 of us. Haven't firmly decided yet, but probably 2 HHs, an El Dorado, and my down hammock. Maybe another DIY just to have an extra. Might substitute the other El Dorado for one of the HHs.

    I will be bringing my warbonnet BB. Choosing the hammock was easy, but I'm going back and forth on what insulation I want to use. I would like to bring my Snugfit, but the more that I think about it, I am leaning toward my Onyx quilt as bottom insulation and my WM Apache sleeping bag used as a top quilt. I will also bring my Gossamer Gear Thinlight, just in case.
