[pct-l] using a hammock

[tsimon10 at cogeco.ca (tsimon10)]

Hi Christopher,
You would definitely find it difficult to support your hammock in many
places. But perhaps the worst thing is you'd camp in less than desirable
places, stopping early or needing to go further, in order you could use a
hammock. The PCT is a "crest" trail and as such is often out of the trees.
In the parts of the PCT that I have completed, there are long treeless
stretches. These are section A, B, all the Sierras, and the Goat Rocks
Wilderness area of Washington. There are several 50 mile burnt out areas.
