Hammock vs. Tarp/ Bivy vs. Tarptent

[te – wa]

Lori: "Well, we're at BPL – we're surrounded by folks who use a poncho for a shelter and sleep on foam pads on the ground. :) Comfort in sleeping gear is hardly the first consideration for folks who want to say it's more comfortable to have less on their back."

i understand, and agree. but this is BPL, with nothing in the title using the word "ultra"
for me, the best of both worlds, a light pack AND sleeping comfort, is king. my point was that id confidently say that ive developed a system that is likely lighter than most of the members here.. with a 3 season base of under 7lbs. AND with a hammock system. it can be done. :)

Don't forget, some people actually can sleep comfortably on a foam mat on the ground.

..and I'll bet Bender can put together a 6" air matt for under 12 ounces.
