Hi, Hobbit.

I'm in my '60s.
Would have given up backpacking until I switched from tents to hammocks.

So much easier when not on the hard ground at night. Actually it is more comfortable then our waterbed at home!

However, you need trees!
And cold weather clothes because the air circulates underneath, much chillier than a tent.

EDIT: And a big fly for privacy. I no longer use a tent, and sold all mine.
