I use a hammock on my tours and hikes. Note that Florida State Parks typically don't allow hammocks -- nothing can be tied to trees (despite fact that tree straps don't hurt trees). You may find hammocking difficult in south Florida, and from my brief drives through the Everglades I noted a lack of good hammock hanging trees. My point is simply be prepared to sleep on the ground in some spots, and be sure your mosquito netting will work if you have to go to the ground. May also be difficult, in spots, to find good hammock areas in the keys. About FL State Parks:
