Hangs are actively discouraged (because most backpackers don't do them well). They also suppose that you have access to the proper kind of trees, which will not be my case. And, from what I read, it requires time and there's the possibility that you'll lose material (bag not coming down, line stuck, etc.).
I hear you but will put myself in the category of unqualified hanger
