You might have seen my posts in the last few months. My son and I did an overnighter last weekend on the Moraine State Park section of the North Country Trail. It was short ( 6 miles Saturday and 3 on Sunday) We stayed in the trail shelter. I was OK sleeping on my Thermarest but despite it being a camping model (and much heavier than I'd like to lug around much longer) it still felt like I was sleeping on boards. I like a SOFT mattress. I got to thinking that a hammock might be more comfortable. Would it even fit in a typical trail shelter? I like the ones that have both a roof and mosquito net but they are a bit pricy and if it rains, I'd need to be in the shelter with only a normal hammock. Does anyone do this? I think I could get the straps behind the frame work to tie off to. If this would work, it would be a lot lighter than a mattress or pad and I'd be up off the floor and away from more of the bugs, etc.
