I love the versatility of the hammock! Once I was riding, deep in my own thoughts, admiring the sunset until I realized I had about 3 minutes of usable light left, GAH! Unfortunately, I found myself in farm country and no trees around that wern't in someone's lawn right in front of their livingroom window. I burnt it forward and found a little bridge crossing a small valley. No flat ground, but it wasn't a problem, I just pitched the hammock on the slope. It was pretty steep, actually made it a little tough to get out of the hammock in the dark. In retrospect, I was lucky to find any trees at all, and that is probably its only weakness: it's need for something to hang from. A minor gripe of mine is that if it's really really hot and you don't want to lay on a thermarest or a sleeping bag in the hammock, mosquitoes can bite your back thorugh the material. Other than that, the hammock rules.
