Studies show that you can achieve a deeper, more restful sleep when you opt for a hammock over a sleeping bag or even a tent. No more rocks or roots in your back, in fact hammock use is recom‐mended to relieve pres‐sure on your back and shoulders. For people with hip or knee prob ‐lems who find it difficult to get up off the ground, a hammock could be right up your tree!

Camping in a hammock can give you greater ac‐cess to wild camping and beach camping as setting up tents in some places is off limits, but you can hang a hammock pretty much anywhere. They are portable and lightweight.

Hammock fans even use them at home in ‐stead of a bed, but that might be taking it too far, they certainly make a good case for choosing a hammock for your next camping trip.
