   Derek, your in depth discussion of the PCH is very informative. I believe it would be somewhat burdensome for a hiker in the Alaska environment, even for summer camping. It would not be adequate for winter camping/hunting due to the wide range of weather environments. Many of the Cons you made the viewer aware of can be adjusted or overcome with in depth planning and experimenting as you demonstrated. Very nice evaluation of the PCH product.

      Thank you. Each hammock has pros/cons to consider, and I appreciate this feedback.

   Hi Derek
   I just found your site… you talk a lot about back packing and weight. I haven’t really dug into your site yet. I plan on getting your books. I have a cheap Walmart hammock to start with and see how that works.
   I am getting a stand for the porch to see if I like sleeping in one. I want to sleep over night before fishing in the mornings. I am older and I really don’t want to sleep on the ground. I do have a question though, what’s the deal with double wide vs a single wide. I tend to be a side sleeper and role side to side. I know this cheap hammock is not going to last….so I am thinking ahead for the next. I can afford a good hammock and tarp hanging off the side of my truck. Thanks for your time Buzz

      Thanks for reaching out Buzz. Single and Double just refers to the width of the hammock, usually. A Double is a misnomer; it doesn’t mean twice as wide or big, but it does mean a foot or so wider. It’s not always more comfortable. Look for a hammock that is about 2x longer than its width (e.g., a 5×10 foot hammock). And I’m sorry for the LATE reply. My WordPress instance had cached all comments from 2023 and I’m now just getting to them. I’m sure by now you’ve long since made a decision!
