No, you don't! I'm at about 14 base with my hammock rig and all my creature comforts. and I won't change that! Frankly, what that means is that on a 2 or 3 day trip I'm starting with 18 or 19 pounds on my back versus 13 or 14.

I'm not carrying my WBB blackbird when I'm camping way above the trees.. If I'm in the trees? forget it.. I'm taking my hammock!

However this just goes to show what I have always contended.. even when saying how much I love my hammock - hammocks *are* heavier... I'll still carry the weight if I can use it, but they are heavier.
