I look at all my tent camping stash, and now I am collecting a ton of hammock stash. I really feel, like my pack will not be any lighter. I understand, not having to worry about finding a flat spot to put a tent, but finding trees can also be an issue.
I just am curious, what tips the appeal to the hammock side?
Lol comfort of courseOriginally Posted by Woodsie8
Yep. Comfort is the main reason.
I keep learning and will never know enough.
It is all about being more comfortable. My best tent gear weighs the same as my best hammock gear and they both take up about the same amount of space in my pack.
From a backwards perspective, I sleep so well in a hammock, I've permanently replaced my bed with it. How's that translate to camping? Well, it's basically the beauty of camping with the comfort of sleeping in my home, wherever I am.
Waking up not feeling stiff & in pain from sleeping on the hard ground.
God bless hammocks - first night in my hammock and it rained 5 inches. I slept like a baby. That was six years ago and I haven't slept on the ground since.

Well i am a noob to hammock world only my second year
I use my hammock for mainly backpacking and when on my motorcycle camp trips
I find it is very easy to find some trees while backpacking
Now state parks is an issue for sure at least in my neck of the northeast
Although i have been bringing it to more n more car camping trips as well
Consistency of sleep. Restorative sleep. Sitting up to put on boots. Breakfast from the hammock.

In my case comfort is number one and I've actually found the hammock to be more versitile in my general area do to lots of trees but lots of roots and eneven ground to that have historically been a reel pain inth butt for me (no pun intended.
