It's true, I have seen camping hammocks before, and thought they looked fun, but I always assumed that they had been sort of a novelty. Portable hammocks, or so I figured, would just like folding camp chairs something to make you a little bit much more comfy while you're hanging around your campsite, but far from a necessity. I am a pretty serious camper, and when I go out into the woods I don't take much within the way of comfort items. All I take when I camp is my tent, my bag, some food, and some clothing. That is about it. Sometimes I'll take a very good book to read or a harmonica along to play as we sit by the campfire, but never anything especially large and bulky. I figure that backpacking hammocks, no matter how secure, have been not for me.
Camping hammocks are not the conventional approach to backpacking, however if realized could be a very helpful part to any backpacking. In a conventional way one can always acquire tents, sleeping bags, or may be a sleeping pad that can be used when resting or snoozing and to keeping warm. Conversely, camping hammocks provide an easy way to keep anyone warm from the ground. This may sound unbelievable but it is true, an all-weather camping hammock is certainly more comfortable than others except for heated sleeping bags. This is mostly due to the air that envelops you rather than the on ground where the heat is rapidly taken away.
By insulating you from the ground, camping out hammocks permit you to stay warmer with much less gear. They're thinner than comparable sleeping bags, and unless the climate is truly wretched, you don't need a tent or a rain fly. You can camp elevated above the ground in complete comfort in practically any weather. From fall rain storms to tropical nights, you will find camping hammocks created for whatever weather you happen being living through.
However, there are some conditions wherein the traditional camping tents and insulated sleeping bags are much effective. In times when it is really cold or you are dealing with snow, a camping tent will likely to provide more needed protection and warmth. Although, you may not like the idea of putting up a camping tent and otherwise would desire to bring along a camping hammock this may not be the best method. There are many advantages to using a camping hammock when backpacking especially if the weather is great and provided that there are many trees to the area you are camping out. Portable hammocks will provide every camper who wishes to travel light but still want much comfort.
