Almost exclusively backpacking. Not a good place to hang at home, but working on that. I do now take one of them on scout trips, including having hung in the Chattanooga Aquarium on a Sleep in the Deep trip. Boy, was that a lifesaver!

3 hammocks, 3 hammock stands:
ENO DoubleNest, 1" galvanized pipe stand [bedroom: full-time indoor hanging]
Yukon Outfitters Mosquito, metal U-shaped hammock stand [backyard: summer nights, lazy afternoons]
Grand Trunk Ultralight, TurtleLady stand [indoors: summer nights that are too noisy outdoors (dogs, parties, A/C units)]
I'm not a backpacker or camper - I just love hammocks.
WB BB That I carry with me just about everywhere (I am currently backpacking so that helps), it is my lounger as well as my sleeper!
I've got four hammocks, two of these: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/produ...-hammock/20074
One to hang at home or yard and other to cabin
And DD Frontline with 3x3m dd tarp for outdoors and hiking and a DD SuperLight to edc so I can relax when/where ever I feel like so.
I've modded those Varusteleka ones a bit with selfmade two sided stuffsacks (made from used British PLCE rucksack side pouch liner bag), continuous loops, lighter carabiners and recently bought kevlar webbing and sew-on dutch clips. Got the weight down from 600g to 350g. Next I'll try my luck making bugnet from military surplus.
I have more hammocks than I know what to do with. I don't even know how many I have at this point anymore. That said I have one hammock I like to use for all hiking and longing in my back yard and that is my cammo ghost. Recently I have made a hammock from argon 90 as an experiment and I've used it a few times but don't expect it to replace my other hammock.
I keep my GT SBP in my truck just in case I see a nice spot to hang. Unfortunately I don't have the room in my apt to set up a hang. Would be great though.
I have the HH DJ strung out in the bedroom.
The WB traveler is my full time outdoor hammock right now till the temps exceed my 20* quilts or I get a 0* quilt set come end of Nov
And have a Cotton one that a friend has for now....was asking to get it back and his wife adamantly said NO!!! ....guess have to wait till she gets a test hang or 3 in hahhaahaha ..if he ever gets it strung up. But plan is to use it as a couch/lounger in the house for TV or computer time.
Next need to do a DIY hammock just cause.
Life is too Short to not feed the addiction....Hang on and explore the World
