Unless camping out in a bell tent, trailer tent, or yurt, we tend to sacrifice comfort when we go camping. When I’m scrimping on weight, I use a rolled-up sweater inside my sleeping bag pouch as a pillow. So why should you strip back comforts even further and sleep out in a hammock rather than a tent? Aside from the fact that hanging out in a hammock slung between two trees looks insanely cool, there are more benefits to hammocking than you might think.
