I now hang and have no plans to ground again.
I wish I could hang. We have a Hennesey and it is by far my younger son’s preferred sleeping arrangement. I can’t stand it.
I tried a Clarks and some other pricey brand, set up by a die hard Hammock Forum’er, so I knew the hang was done correct.
Oh the humanity! I was in pain in any attempt at my preferred semi-fetal side sleeping position.
I wish, I wish, I wish, but I just can’t night sleep in a hammock.
Mem, if you have the opportunity to test sleep a properly set hammock give it a try. YMMV. Being able to string a bed above uneven grounds would be a boon.
Honestly I’d say the same for test sleeping a 1-man tent. Maybe trial one, any skinny one-person model, for a couple of nights first, even if that is in the back yard. I can’t imagine stuffing me and the stuff I like to keep inside the tent in most 1 person designs I’ve seen.
Maybe I just like to keep too much stuff in the tent; pad, sleeping bag, pillowage of some sort, the clothes I took off, spare clothes, flashlight, book, reading glasses, pee bottle, etc. I don’t want to have to unzip the doors to get to the vestibule for that stuff.
Maybe a one and a half person tent design, or something more diamond shaped than skinny rectangle, for some mid-tent interior storage space.
