Since roughly 2010, hammocking and hammock camping have seen massive growth in popularity.
I personally only thought of hammocks as a way to lounge in the back yard, I had no idea that hammock camping could be so comfortable, lightweight, and become one of my favorite ways to enjoy camping.
With new lightweight materials, rain flys, and increased competition, hammocking, and hammock camping have become mainstream and affordable.
With new lightweight stands, trees have even become optional!
