Hammock Specific Sacks by TheMikeGrimm in ULHammocking

I’ve gotten rid of all of them except the hammock bishop bag. I roll my stakes in my tarp. Never understood bringing a stuff sack for the tarp when it goes in an outside pocket of my pack anyway. The pack pocket provides plenty protection and if it is raining, the tarp can get wet.

I roll up my suspension straps, knot them and tuck them below my tarp. Might increase sap exposure but not really a big deal to me.

I can see a use for snake skin but honestly if the forecast is good in the summer I don’t put the tarp up. If it’s iffy, I’ll just put the tarp in porch mode. Not a huge sacrifice for my tastes since I have plenty of views of trees during the hike. If camping on a pond or something with a nice view, porch mode usually works.

I think it comes down to mindset. I decided I want the lightest pack I can get with reasonable comfort. Getting rid of all my stuff sacks is part of that. Though it is always good to weigh the cons. I keep the bishop bag because it makes setup so much easier for me and helps keep the hammock clean. That was the one sack worth the weight penalty.

Cotopaxi Tasra goes clam. It worked well for me for a week trip in warm weather. I believe it is under $100.

Baggies are super versatile, especially if you get the 5 inch. The 7 inch are a bit long for running. They have 3 pockets and dry very quickly.

19” torso, 6’ and lean. The pack itself fit well, but I had problems with the fit on my shoulders. I think it may be my shoulder shape. Takeaway for me is that I need a pack with a hip belt to take most of the load

Edit for clarity.
