Well guys, just got home last night from a section hike, Pearisburg, VA to Harpers Ferry, WV, 387.1 miles, 22 days. I had hoped to have a hammock and tarp made in time for the trip but it didn't work out, not enough time, but I'll soon be back on the project asking for help. In the end though it was probably best to get another long section under my belt to evaluate tent camping and comfort to compare to a hammock once I get it made. The tent was comfy enough but I believe in the end I'll convert to a hammack to allow me to stop pretty much anywhere. I had intended to have a fairly light day one day and stop at about 18 miles but had to cross a state park that didn't allow camping and then find a flat spot...had to do 28 miles to the next flat spot...really could have used a hammock at that time.
