Went on an overnight trip to the Buffalo River in Arkansas. The weather was nice enough to just sleep outside

My hammock has a built in bug net 🤷‍♂️

Here is my setup last weekend: Hammock by the river with dog in background

Here's another angle, with the rain fly extended: Closeup of hammock with rain fly. Orange chair on ground with items on it, backpack hanging from low tree branch

I was quite comfortable to be honest. But tents are fine, I still own a tent, and depending on where I'm camping or how much I'm glamping, I'll bring the tent, and maybe even toss in an air mattress. I'm flexible 😁

Nah, you sold me at “built-in bug net” hahaha hammock is so much more comfy than sleeping on an air mattress or bedroll.
