I have set my tent up in the yard and slept in it, and for myself, not the kids.
I never set my tent up in my yard, that would be just silly.
I've never owned a tent.
I have slept in my hammock in the back yard, I don't care what the neighbors say.
I don't use my hammock in the back yard, except to adjust hang before a trip.
People sleep inside their house, when they have a perfectly good hammock to rest in?
I enjoy sleeping in my backyard. My house is at the end of a dead end street and not only do I own the lot behind me, but I also own the one next to me. Two-thirds of my acreage is wooded so I have plenty of choices of places to hang my hammocks. To make it even better, my land is bordered by two creeks.
It's nice not having to drive somewhere to hang.
Don't argue with the alligator until after you cross the river.
I do love my hammock for camping but I can understand those who like tents too. I have had some awesome tents. The problem with them us mostly weight. The really light ones I have had were either way to small or slippery to the extreme using silnylon. I like a tarp very much and before doing the hammock thing I was camping under a tarp in a bivy.
Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.
My son and I love camping and both of us enjoy hammock camping in the backyard a lot ! We don't care what the neighbors think!
High ground is dry ground!

I live in an apartment.. haven't slept in my hammock since June
But I have no tent!
I used to setup my tents in the yard when I was a kid, because I was excited.
I used to setup my hammocks in the yard when I first got started, because I was excited.
I setup my hammocks in the yard now, because....I can!
Trust nobody!

The family thinks I am nuts but have done 5-7 nites at a time in the backyard and waiting for the go ahead from the doctor now..actually forgot that i was fiddling with the rig and tarp the other day and after waking up with a sore back thought heck might as well grab some coffee i looked out my kitchen window to RAIN! now my sw and uq are drying in the shed and luckily i had my old sleeping bag and thro pillows on top...ahhhh tonight just might be the night
It's not the boulders that throw us off balance, it's the pebbles beneath our feet
The wife actually wanted the hammock hung in the backyard for the weekend. With the tarp, to keep the sun off her.
It was never taken down, I have a few hours before I'm supposed to be at work...
I think I'll take the kindle to a little place I know between a couple trees.
Both hammocks are strung up in the back yard. Presently one of them is quite full of my wife.
She's out there in her mummy bag, beanie hat, and a fuzzy fleece blanket.
The woman actually looked happy when I last checked on her.
