Camping Hammocks Research and Review
I like sleeping outside. If you are going to be able to find trees to strap a hammock between or staying at a camp with these conditions, a hammock is a good option.
Hammock Benefits
- Avoid the cold floor
- Avoid bugs
Hammock drawbacks
- Strange sleeping position
- Massive range to choose from
- Best brands are expensive
