A hammock gets you off the ground where there are more breezes. And with a hammock you don’t have to lie on a sweaty sleeping pad. That way your whole backside is free to the cooling night air (with the addition of an under-quilt, you can use the same hammock in quite cold weather).
Is it safe to sleep in a hammock while camping?
Use high-quality equipment. First and foremost, make sure you’re using durable equipment. No matter how much you plan or prepare, if your hammock gear isn’t high-quality, you run the risk of having accidents. Low-quality camping hammocks can rip, tear, fall, or buckle under your weight.
