After a lot of tweaking and improvement, there's no way I could put up a tent and fly faster than my tarp and hammock. Maybe if it is raining, it would take me longer, but I would stay a lot dryer since the tarp would go up 1st and come down last.
I am of the opinion not to try to encourage everyone to try a hammock. In fact, on my upcoming trip to Middle Fork of the Salmon River in June, I am not going to encourage others in my group, since trees may be limited at some camp sites. I told them about using a hammock when I started, but that's the last I will mention of it. We will see who feels superior when they get up off the ground and do the "Zombie WalK" in the morning
