Hi there,

This is my first post and so far the site has provided me with some great information, so thanks very much! Also I hope I put this in the correct thread, it may fit better in Gear Selection, my apologies to the mods.

My question comes with my planning of a West Coast Trail trek with a group of friends. I won't pretend to be anywhere close to an extended trip expert (my first expedition sized pack just came in today!) but I do have some outdoor experience. Anyway, I've been looking for a good backcountry shelter and I stumbled upon this site:

http://www.junglehammock.com/index.php

Clark hammocks seem to be a good investment and while I may or may not purchase one in time for the WCT I'm interested in seeing what some more experianced backpackers have to say about hammocks on the Trail (and hammocks as a shelter option in general), mainly: are they viable for beach camping? (I know most campsites are on the beach but trees aren't far away). Thanks in advance for your help,

Jim Simpson
