Though I've only had one proper hang out in the woods, I was definately much more comfortable in my HH then I have ever been sleeping on the ground. Given the rain during the night, I was quite pleased to find that I remained dry along with all my gear and didn't have to worry about getting the inside of my hammock wet (which happens when getting into a tent.). Set up and take down was quite easy - all done under the shelter of my tarp (unlike the tent my sisters were sleeping in) and I was ready to go before they'd even removed their poles.
Which has led me to wanting to do some winter camping. I plan on getting a UQ of some sort during a Black Friday Sale. I live in a Ski Town, so have beautiful mountains to go camping in along with all the cold weather gear I could possibly need.
My only problem is finding a buddy to do this with. There don't seem to be any other 'hangers' in my area and I have no idea how else to go about finding any. I'll ask at the local Outdoors store to see if they know anyone who'd be up for it, but I am wondering if there are any camping forums or things like that that might be a useful tool to find fellow people to camp with in this area?
