    Hammocks that double as ponchos? How would that work? The hammock would have to be waterproof - that means you're going to end up in a pool of condensation. Not to mention that you couldn't very well hike in the rain with your "poncho" then sleep in it, unless you like being wet.

    I can't find any poncho hammocks online. Can you post a link?

    There are tarps that double as ponchos, but I've never heard of a hammock.

    I have seen a tarp that doubled as a hammock. Wouldn't want such for the reasons above. Additionally, getting one little hole from a branch or thorns while wearing it as a poncho, could result in rrrrrrrrip when in hammock mode....thus ruining the entire trip.

    For years and years people wore ponchos to keep them warm. This doesn’t have to be water resistant to be a Multible purpose hammock. I have seen many hikers wrap a hammock around themselves in the early morning just to keep a little bit warmer. I read something about a under quilt being used as a cold weather Fjellduken tarp. Or I think it was a Fjellduken used as an under quilt.

    It’s worth a look to see if someone figured out how to combine a hammock and a poncho.

    I've seen tarps that can be used as a poncho, ground cover, rain fly. I was interested in the multi-use idea, but ultimately felt that I'd rather just use a Frogg Toggs poncho. The one I looked at didn't look like the kind of fabric that I would want to hike in.
