Hammocks are good for summer and fall hiking. Winter time you need an under quilt so they lose some of their weight advantage for an ultralight hiker. I am a side/stomach sleeper so I've never tried camping in a hammock. My folks have one on their deck in the mountains, so relaxing.
It's also called a rain fly. They're really nice setups. Roughly half the weight of weight of a 1p tent because there are no rods. I looked at them pretty hard when I bought my winter sleeping bag. I had it made by Hammockgear and had a long chat with the owner of the company about hammock camping. If I thought I could sleep 6-7 hours in one I would grab one for sure.
The case file is not all that great. It has all the rule outs investigated by CCSO and some other tidbits, but not an inventory. I think there is probably a more detailed file they are not releasing to the public.
If I'm not mistaken, it's only because of some visual sleuthing with the unpublished photos, that it was determined that he indeed carried a Sawyer brand water filtration bottle. That's an example of an item he did have, but was not present in his list of belongings. @GatorFL ?
Which I think is wrong. They don't suspect foul play but withhold a bunch that could identify him!
They shoot themselves in the foot because if people think they're being jerked around like that then they won't help the police.
MH told that person he had an abusive father which is why he stopped seeing his parents many years before.
It mentions talking about the fathers in our timeline but it doesn't mention them talking about the abuse. Can others confirm about the abuse. I've read it in a few places.
I am only speculating about there being a larger file. The case file that has been released is mostly NAMUS ruleouts. There is some other stuff in there like the initial scene description and a partial list of his belongings.
