3 Days of Hammock Camping in the Rain, Hiking, & Backpacking on the Loyalsock Trail. For this 3 day, 2 night fall backpacking trip, I’ll be hiking the 24 mile Loyalsock Link Loop, in Pennsylvania’s Loyalsock State Forest. My goal for this rainy fall hike was a laid back, lower mileage trip with plenty of time at camp each day. For fun and comfort, I still used my minimalist sub 10 pound ultralight backpacking gear load-out. In addition to my usual gear list, I threw in a lightweight backpacking fry pan for some fun camp cooking to spice things up as well. Lighterpack Gear List with links lighterpack.com/r/8sfn58 (pretty much what I hiked with on this trip, except for the Trail Winder Asym Underquilt, Esbit stove instead of an alcohol stove and the MSR Fry Pan, as noted in the backpacking gear section below) For an easier read and downloadable GPS data, check out my full blog post: www.sintax77.com/fall-hammock-camping-in-the-rain No permit is required to camp in the Loyalsock State Forest, so long as you are only camping one night at each campsite.
