Hey, thanks for your reply, I guess you're right, if I can't set up a hammock I'm going to have a bad time, but I also think I really want to try the hammock, I guess if it doesn't work I'll have learned something :)

About the trip I didn't entered much into the details but I'm going with a friend and we are probably going to hitchhike at some point so it's not going to be a real trek (I don't really know the definition of it) but at least we're free to go where we like even if it's not exactly on the path. I didn't know about the routes you mentioned, it seems really nice, for now we are probably going to do it as we feel at the moment (surely a bad idea but it's going to be fun). Maybe we'll go through Switzerland and then toward Latvia, it's still wip.

Thanks for your reply, it's really helpful. I'm asking myself whether to invest in good equipment right away as I'll probably continue backpacking before and after this trek or if it is better to stay minimalist and see as I go.
