I live in IN USA and every /out/ spot I go to has plenty of trees to hammock in. Our weather is also pretty easy as well. So around the Midwest in the spring and summer and a good way into fall I mostly hammock camp when I'm out solo.
But out west in places where trees are spotty, like mountains and that dry semi-desert shit? Tents rule. Also when backpacking with either a qt you want to snuggle up with or another dude you don't, tents rule. A good one can go up just as fast or faster than a hammock, don't require trees, and handle weather much better. I can also run a stove in one.
For more than one occupant they are lighter than multiple hammocks and their load can be split up...one guy carries the fabric and cordage, another the poles and stakes, etc.
I also prefer tents when hunting because it is easier to store gear out of the weather. A pack and bow or rifle can sit under he hammock, but the fly supplied with most of them isn't big enough to protect them from and kind of driven precipitation.
Anyway, there is no "master race". Some shit works best in some conditions, different shit in different conditions.
