[QUOTE="wboregon, post: 1467390, member: 102916"] I Hammocked while hunting some pretty steep terrain last year. IMO it's not any lighter than a good ultra light tent and sleeping pad. You have to factor in the weight of the suspension for the hammock, the weight of your top quilt or sleeping bag (a top quilt is lighter than a sleeping bag), you WILL need a bottom quilt, and then you throw in the tarp and your system will probably be 8-9 lbs if not a little more depending on how much you spend on your gear. I'll have to weigh my current set-up when i get home, but I can't imagine it weighing any less than that. [/QUOTE]
