shelter

    Still haven't decided if I want to take                                          

This

Or this

    I have never used a hammock to backpack with. Figure I'll have to sleep in it a few times to see how it feels. It's a bit lighter than my tent, but not to sure how warm or dry I'll stay in it.
    Hopefully most of the time I'll be able to find room in a lean-to, however I still want some type of shelter just in case. I'm leaning toward the hammock for the weight and space savings which is quite a bit compared to my tent. My scale is doing funny things now so not exactly sure how much weight I'd save, but I'm guessing around 2 or 3 lbs. Which is quite a bit.
    Picked up the hammock for free from a good friend of mine, so the price was right. If any of you have experience with hammocks like these send me a comment and tell me what u think.

P.S.
    Of course the tent does have a lot of sentimental value. It's the same tent I've had since I was 14 or so. That was 40 yrs ago. Says something for Eureka tents. It's seen a lot of miles over the years.
