Hennessy Hammock for me, use them for over 25 years, will NEVER go back to a tent.

Can the aluminium frame be taken out, and can be put back in again? I have an aluminium frame in my present pack, and if I fly to Europe and want to avoid hold charges, I remove this frame. Upon arrival, I assemble an homemade frame replica made of small-diameter plastic tubing that I bought from a B & Q, our local garden centre. I strengthen the plastic tubing with wood dowling (again from B & Q) that I push into each tube. It works very well and I've found that my plastic tube method is more comfortable on my back than my aluminium frame, as it tends to flex a little as I move.

Tent link?

Two trekking poles!?!?

Tent ALWAYS! .. I don't care where you are at

I used to take a tarp and fold it halfway down the middle, covering myself. I could only do this in the fall, though, otherwise I’d be eaten alive by bugs overnight. I didn’t hear my brother complaining, though, since he got the tent all to himself.

Ever heard of a hammock?

It needs more tie offs so can close the ends

Tarp every time with bivy. Can be set up with ends closed when wet and windy. Bivy keeps the bugs off.

Tarp camping is superior, because you are allowed to do it EVERYWHERE here. Except like wilderness protection zones, but even on private property ur just allowed to setup a tarp and hammock/bivy. Only issues I run into are damn slugs, first camping trip with new expensive gucci gear... 20 slugs crawled up on my tarp, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and covered everything in slime and squished slugs

You get condensation no matter what. Lol

Tarp. All day long. Almost every condition. I still love my altaplex but the versatility of the tarp is fun and can make the experience just a little bit better. However, if we had issues with ticks here? I wouldn’t risk it.

Where are these mystical non mosquito filled areas? Genuinely asking, clearly they exist but I cant seem to find them

TICKS NO WAY

I love the tarp and tent but man hammock is a must try!

Can you still get the hipster? I don't see it on your home page

Welp. I'm totally doing this.

Sierra Nevadas are full of rattlesnakes, ticks, bears, wolves, mountain lions, and tweakers. Tents slow them all down. Tent everytime.

There are pitches in tarps that are closed with bottom. Is the tarp good in those pitches? Tarp is so versatile but I am beginner

Fancy

Tent every time.

Or a bivi with a tarp.....

Respectable

Military surplus bug net…. Just sayin.

If you're worried about the ground, put your tarp over your hammock.

Hammock under a tarp pimp

Put a hammock with a removable bug net on or over it, find a couple of suitable trees (or other relativity vertical, stationary objects), and sleep like a baby. No wet, muddy floor either - ever!

just came back from a 3 night backpacking trip.... i'll take the extra lbs for a tent...

Central-northern Ontario canoe tripping the tarp comes out around this time of year when the bitting insect are gone. I haven’t had problems with ticks in Algonquin or farther north of that

Hammock

Always tents

Judging by that demonic little bloodsucker on your leg, I’ll say tent…I tend to carry a tarp as an extra rainfly or to keep the bottom of my tent clean anyway

I just can't comprehend that there's places where a tarp is realistically viable. But then again I live in Florida. I basically need a tent just to walk to my car

Lime disease makes me choose tent every time.

Neither, hammock🗿

City boys scared of little bugs, typical

Just take both 🤣👍

I like both and only use the mil tec recon to sleep in while enjoying a light rain or breeze and cooking under the tarp.

Tent in bug season (I often skip hiking & camping at this time because it’s just miserable), tarp tent between bug season and winter, 4S tent in winter.

Tent. Every time. Ants, spiders, ticks, mosquitos, snakes, wind, rain, flash flooding, blackout for heat, gear protection, no need for trees like the hammock crowd... the list goes on. Worth the extra pound.

No green color = no green paper.

Does anyone feel the strap when wearing the pack?
