Hello from Switzerland
In Switzerland hammock camping is pretty much unknown. I used to hike with a tent in the Swiss mountains, but finding a decent spot to pitch a tent can be tricky. I probably learned about hammock camping by reading about ultra-light hiking from US websites. Tried it out last year with a simple hammock and loved it! So I got myself some proper gear, a Warbonnet Blackbird + quilts, and love to go camping in the wild even for just a single night.
What I like about hammock camping:
1. most comfortable
2. closer to nature, I like watching the stars in the night and the wildlife in the morning.
3. lighter than a tent
4. it is so easy to get in and out of a hammock.
5. hammocks are easy to modify and make
6. I can have dinner while sitting in the hammock
7. easy and quick to setup
8. easier to find a good spot
9. less risk of picking up ticks
I am looking forward to learning a lot from everyone in this forum and share what I can :-)
