>>2709630>- It'll take longer to set up and pack up than a tent.That depends on the tent. With my diy whoopie slings, setting up a hammock is trivial.
>- If it rains, a tent is a lot nicer than a hammock and a tarp to be in. If it rains a hammock and a tarp are much better to set up and they'll guarantee a dry sleep.
Tent:
- while you're setting up a tent floor, it rains on it and it rains on you.
- while you're setting up the inner wall and tent poles it rains on it, filling your bathtub floor with water and it rains on you.
- while you're setting up the outer wall of your tent it rains on you.
Hammock:
- you set up a tarp while it rains on you.
- you set up rest of your camp while drying off, with no chance of your gear getting more wet
>- If the hammock doesn't have an integrated bugnet, you'll have a bad time, especially near any water.Since they're more popular, they're often just as cheap as regular ones, so I don't see why getting a hammock with a bugnet would be a problem.
That being said it's easy to make one to drape over your hammock ("The Ultimate Hang" has some excellent instructions). Or you could use a head net, if you want to go ultralight.
