The camping hammock may at first seem a novelty reserved for backyard lazing, but savvy product design and the right accessories make these creative hanging systems more than just lazy afternoon enablers—they can replace your tent, support ultralight backpacking adventures, or enhance impromptu car-camping trips in backcountry terrain that would be a nightmare to sleep on with a traditional ground-based sleeping pad.
Hammocks themselves come in a wide variety of styles and materials, though comfort is usually the defining factor in finding the ideal model for you. Many of the most basic models rely on webbing straps that are wrapped around trees and clipped to loops using a lightweight toggle or specialized carabiner. These are quick to set up and work well for most, but for more comfort-oriented designs the Kammok Roo Double and Dream Sparrow stand out with a thoughtfully designed suspension that provides excellent performance.
To get the most out of your hammock camping experience you will also need effective topside and underside insulation. Most campers swap out their sleeping bags for a down-filled or synthetic quilt, and many add an under-quilt that suspends underneath the hammock to keep your body from losing heat through convection. To weatherproof your hammock, you will also need a rain tarp and to learn how to pitch it in a way that maximizes protection from wind and rain. The right combination of equipment will allow you to fully enjoy your hammock camping adventures, even on cold, wet nights.
