Why are Hammock Tents Great?
A Great Night’s Sleep!
For those who have a properly-set up true backpacking hammock tent, they will find that sleeping in the air is much more comfortable than on ground. Not only do you get a peaceful night's rest every time but also no longer worry about uneven surfaces or limited space for your gear; these issues plague traditional camping set ups where one must navigate sloping terrain, rocky grounds, wet patches and protruding roots. With hammock camping all of this fades away to make room for cozy sweet dreams!
Hammocks Are Way Cooler in the Summer
Elevate your camping experience by sleeping off the ground in a hammock. Not only does it provide you with a more comfortable night's sleep, but lying on airy fabric will also keep you cool and sweat-free! To ensure an even cozier slumber during colder conditions, add an under-quilt to your setup for added warmth. With these simple steps, enjoy all the benefits of hammocking while remaining snug as a bug throughout the night!

Better Campsite Options
With a hammock, you don’t necessarily need to search for level terrain; all you require is two trees spaced between 12-15 feet apart. This flexibility allows campers the opportunity to take refuge in picturesque spots that are sheltered and free from pests. Moreover, it enables them to avoid overpopulated areas where camping sites have become unsightly and overcrowded.

Solitude When You Want It
If you seek tranquility on the Appalachian Trail or elsewhere, a hammock offers unparalleled freedom away from habituated camping areas. With more campsite options available to you, your desire for seclusion and privacy can be realized with greater ease than if pitching a tent in crowded social zones.
Easy on the Environment
Hammocks provide an excellent way to uphold Leave No Trace principles: Traditional campers may find themselves limited in options when seeking a campsite, while hammock camping allows you more flexibility. Additionally, since the fabric of a hammock doesn't touch the ground, it carries minimal ecological impact. To avoid harm or injury to trees and branches that bear your weight, use wide tree straps with diameters between 1″ and 1.5″ - almost all backpacking hammocks come pre-equipped with these straps!

14. Finally a Hammock Will Keep you Warm! Contrary to popular belief, hammocks are not cold - when correctly set up with an under-quilt, you can sleep comfortably and warmly in your hammock even on the chilliest of winter nights. The reason why many people don't believe this is because they do not understand how to properly use an under-quilt or have adjusted it incorrectly creating large gaps that let air escape. Not using an appropriate quilting system for a hammock is akin to someone attempting to lie directly on snow without any form of insulation; thus claiming all sleeping bags will make them chilly!
