AT LASH Toolshed here. Had a few experiences with mice all night long. I started hammocking about 23 years ago and never looked back. Also there’s always a shelter where a weirdo showed up.

I stayed in them when they still had wire bunks. Creaking noises all night when someone turned over. Also dealt with the mice. I would hag my pack from the rafters with a barrier halfway down the cord. Some still got through by jumping between packs hanging too close.

if they’re close to a trailhead, they get infested with teenagers who have beer and fireworks and other problems

I agree with you and usually try to tent where I can but it’s a good option if storms are rolling in

Stayed in shelter with 10 novice hikers. Around 2am was awaken by blow to the head followed by a blinding light. One of the hikers was trying to hit a mouse scurrying over my forehead with his flashlight. Last night ever in a shelter.

Facts. I don’t mind camping near a shelter as it has water commode and not a bad place to hang out if it’s raining to get a break.
