There are 2 types of people:
Those who have hammocked and loved it.... and those who have never been in a hammock.
I put in over 200 nights last year in a hammock right into the snowy cold winter time here in Canadastan and basically sleep better in a hammock than in a bed.
I know there are some people who are ground dwellers when they go into the bush or camping, and some people who really do not like hammocks after they try them.... but honestly, there are no pressure points in a hammock like on a flat surface... like a bed.
It gets you off the ground, away from the bugs and the cold sucking the life out of you.
Hammocks are a super small and portable bed/shelter in one, smaller than a tent, and all you need is a tarp with it, also super small, packable and portable.
This stuff can honestly be so small and lightweight, both can pack down TOGETHER around the size of a large softball, I am not kidding!!
It is kinda like being back in the womb again and everyone has womb in their life for more comfort like this!!
But Barry, the BUGZ!!!
--
A bug net attached to or around your hammock fixes all the issues for that ---bugs love me, I do not like them, I speak from honest to goodness experience.
They bother me and they are attracted to me and I can live in a hammock quite literally. I love the gentle swaying motion, being off the ground, suspended in the air and a cocoon of awesomeness..
If you have the proper baselayers on..... trust me, you can do it all year, and if you add the right UNDERQUILT that hangs tightly under the length of the hammock, it removes the draft under you and we can get more technical from there.
Find a friend today with a hammock and take it for a spin --- you can thank me later friends!!!
Hammocks can be hung on trees which are nearly everywhere, off a truck or pole on one end and off another pole or fence/deckpost etc on the other end, have a look, there are nearly always objects like this 12-20 feet apart in life and if not, like I said, a pole or truck etc can be moved to make up the other side for hanging!
The sheer strength/weight of the angle of the hang is honestly not as much as you think it might be!
Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
