The whole hammock instead of tent idea never made sense to me for canoe camping. That said, I have two questions. #1 - Hammock, tarp, under quilt, ropes and whatever. What's it all weigh and how much pack space does that all that take up. #2 - How long does it take to rig compared to a tent. I mean, you can get tiny little one person tents, right? You wanna save weight and time just get a bivy sack. Oh, and Buzzzt!  :D

I had the same thoughts/questions....

Also, a couple of folks have told me they sleep better in a hammock, less aches and pains than from laying on a tent pad....
