As I got older it hurt more and more to sleep on the ground. I always thought that hammocks kept you curved like a banana and that would be bad for my back. When someone gave my scouting son a HH hammock I started to learn more about how the camping hammocks let you sleep flat. Tried one out and away I went. Now my son, daughter, and I have hammocks. My wife is resisting a bit because she is a stomach sleeper. I have suggested the AMOK to her but I think she still likes the simplicity of a tent. I don't think it helps the simplicty case as she watches me learn about tarps, underquilts, topquilts, getting the pitch right, etc. But I love fiddling with stuff like that so for me its a plus. Almost done with my hammock stand. Its a bit different and I'll post it when I finish.
