[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1467512, member: 105926"] Exactly. I tried a hammock setup and I shaved a little weight in the early season from my lightweight tent set up, but in colder weather it didn’t save me any weight. Another thing to think about is if where you’ll be hunting will have adequate trees to suspend your hammock from, as I have heard that this is an issue for some people especially during more alpine hunts. Another thing about hammocks I don’t like compared to tents is keeping my gear dry. I always find it difficult to keep my pack, boots, etc out of the weather compared to a lightweight tent with a vestibule. If everything else works out I also prefer sleeping in a hammock, finding them more comfortable than a tent/sleeping pad. [/QUOTE]
