I try to think about what I really like about my hammocks.
1) No pressure points, so I don't wake up with any aches or pains.
2) I can position the hammock to have my head slightly higher than my feet (helps reduce acid reflux) .. and allows me to sleep without a pillow.
3) The cocoon feel. I like the way the sides roll-up and kinda 'wrap around' me.
4) I like knowing that I'm above the ground. I could never sleep on a ground cloth with a tarp .... wondering about what creepy crawling things are trying to attack me.
5) It seems more compatible for using a quilt ... which saves me weight.
6) On a still, dry, clear night ... I can leave the tarp off and fall asleep looking at the stars
7) It provides a new reason to use PayPal.
Are there other reasons??
