It’s the perfect solution for those who don’t like to carry an elephant with them on the trip. In other words, it’s the best solution in sight for folks who intend to pack light. Compared to other sleeping platforms, hammocks require bare minimal setup, and they are highly portable. You can tie a hammock between two trees, next to a waterfall, and doze off to enjoy a romantic in-the-air, free-swinging sleep. It’s like Mother Nature personally rocking you to a deep sleep. Better yet, a hammock can also be used as a lounger or chair. Some of the modern-day hammocks are so well-made and comfortable that you might completely forget about other sleeping platforms for camping.
