When we were on our last tour we were envious of folks in Yosemite Camp 4 who had a hammock for lounging around during the day. We wanted to nap and it was super hot in the tent. It got me to thinking whether it might be worth carrying an ultralight hammock on at least some trips.

I am not sure I am really serious about taking one. The thing is I really don't want to add weight to my load, but it looks like some hammocks weigh as little as 7 ounces. At that weight I just might consider carrying one on some trips. If it was any heavier than 7 or 8 ounces or if It meant that I couldn't keep my gear load below 30 pounds including panniers I would probably rule it out.

Has anyone carried an ultralight hammock for lounging as opposed to one for sleeping in? If so which one and how did it work out.
