Hammocks Pros and Cons

After my last post on hammock camping, I decided to do another post highlighting some of the positives and negatives associated with hammock camping.

Pros:
Cheaper than a tent
Lightweight
Easy to carry
Quick to set up
Easier to stay cool
More versatile (don't have to have flat ground to set it up)
Out in the open, so you can see the stars and wildlife
Doesn't take up a lot of space, either packed up or in use
Comfortable

Cons:
Can be expensive if you buy many accessories
You have to have two trees or vertical objects close enough together
You can damage the trees if you aren't careful
It is harder to stay warm in cooler weather
Can be a strange experience the first time
Exposed to the elements and wildlife (tarps can remedy this)

I'm sure there are more pros and cons to the hammock game, but that all I can come up with right now. Have fun and be safe.
