My hammock takes a matter of mere minutes to set up. I have a Warbonnet Blackbird. Very quick, much quicker than any free standing tent I have. It is also much more comfortable. As an added benefit, I am able to keep my bike and gear under it and keep everything dry in bad weather. My hammock takes up very little space as well.
