I use a hammock because my father did. You either camp on the ground under the stars or in a hammock-just the way it is. Other than family tradition:
*I find hammocks to be more comfortable
*Hammocks generally take up less physical space in the woods
*Hammocks seem to blend with the environment better
*Snakes and other pests don't seem to be as much of an issue in hammocks
*I have yet to find a lightweight tent that sets up as easily as a hammock
*I don't need a chair, tent, or lounger because I already have a hammock
*Hammocks can be strung from aircraft parts-tents can't
*Tents isolate me from the environment which I am trying to which I am escaping
*Hammocks aren't the popular choice-I feel like a rebel and trendsetter
*Tentforums.net is boring--Swingers are more fun.
