I am not in the SE, but some may call me an 'overlander'. Actually, my fondness of vehicle based exploration travel is what brought me to hammocks.
The more remote my trips became that harder it was to find a solid place to pitch a tent and the TrailNest concept helped persuade me into a hammock for the first time. My biggest concern about the TrailNest is that on top of the $500 contraption they sell, you still need a solid roof rack and ladder for the vehicle. Not only that, but I don't have the foggiest clue how you could successfully hang a tarp on the roof. Can you imagine the struggle getting up to pee in the middle of the night on a metal roof rack that is wet from dew?
The beauty of hammocking with vehicle based travel is that you ALWAYS have one hang point along with you; the vehicle. I've figured out how to safely hang from my Land Cruiser, Wrangler and Comanche pickup without needing to buy any extra gear. I can even hang my hammock under the awning I have mounted to my vehicle for the ultimate open view rain shelter.
