    It is! $100ish for an eno hammock and tarp and you’re hammock camping like an emperor. If you’re not a beast, a canvas tarp and some rope makes a good enough hammock for probably less than $30.

      good enough isn’t good enough for me though. I got a OneWind hammock that cost me like $60, along with their excellent tarp. i even splurged and upgraded it with some dutchware fittings like the waspz for the tarp and an adjustable ridgeline.

      the adjustable rideline was probably the best thing I ever bought for camping, getting it centered exactly over where I want takes about two seconds and one try.

        I know exactly how you feel. I have a sleeping pad that weighs more than my backpacking tent because I will gladly carry an extra 5 lbs to sleep in comfort!

          yeah, i’ll never be an ultralight hiker, I love the comforts too much that I’ll gladly carry a heavier sleep system if it means getting a really good night of sleep
