Headed out for the first out and back of 2017!
I am generally a die hard hammock hanger but, for some reason, this time, I find myself wanting to tent. Perhaps it is because I will be alone so I can't just lay in the hammock and chat until sleepy or maybe it is the colder weather (although I have taken my setup to a very wet 23 degrees). I'm just not wanting to hang this time. I want to be able to sit up and draw/write with some stability and have my dogs close. My pack is decent light and this trip is more of a mental sanity thing so I plan to bring a book and a journal along for some chill time. Not walking too far in. Just getting out for the pure joy of getting out in the woods for a night. Temps should be around 30-33 with the normal Southern humidity and wet cold that we call winter.
Am I being silly for just wanting to deviate for the sake of wanting to?
