For what it is worth, I tried a hammock once and did not like it. Even in Michigan I had trouble finding two trees the correct distance apart. 5' is too close and 20' is too far and if you want to position it to avoid wind it just makes it that much harder. It got down to about 50° at night and it was cold with my normal pad. I had taken an emergency blanket so that solved the temperature part but it was noisy. I realize that is solvable. The biggest problem was that everything ends up in the bottom of the hammock. Flashlight, glasses, book etc. I decided that the tent worked better for me YMMV
