Further advantages include less tent pegs, zero poles and sleeping mattress weight/volume. This all adds up to a lighter load with more backpack space available for other gear. A camping hammock will also sustain far less damage and retain less moisture than a ground tent. This is because it will rarely be deployed on the ground over sharp objects such as rocks and sticks, and won’t become subject to as much groundwater and dew overnight.
In cold climates ground insulation can become an issue, which can be solved with a hammock underquilt (sold separately), or by accumulating a pile of natural ground debris under your hammock (leaves, moss, bark, etc). When sunken in for a sleep this insulation will cocoon the outdoor hammock and become incredibly warm.
This particular model of parachute hammock is strong, stable, lightweight and 100% insect proof. A waterproof rain-fly is included which can be either tied taut above the hammock, or draped over the horizontal mosquito net cord and secured into the ground with tent pegs.
Additionally, two guy-ropes can be pegged taut into the ground to open the hammock into a wider, flatter and more comfortable sleeping platform. This is a major highlight of this particular hiking hammock model.
A great all round backpacking hammock for travel and wilderness treks, with many colors to choose from, including camouflage patterns which have military use potential.
