I have car camped for quite a while and am taking the step into backpacking. I am in the process of deciding on a tent and ran across this site. My question is weather or not I can go with only a hammock and no tent at all. I was/am looking at a tarptent double rainbow which is about the same price and weight as the speer hammock. I just need some convincing that a hammock is the way to go for all of my 3 season backpacking plans.
