A hammock is an essential part of the equipment of every experienced traveler or soldier.
Initially, the hammock was intended for an overnight stay in the jungle, where it is not advisable to sleep on the ground due to insects. Over time, the hammock spread throughout the world and became popular with many travelers. After all, having ants or starlings in your sleeping bag will not please anyone. A mosquito net helps reliably against flying insects.
The main advantages of hammocks include compactness and very low weight. Another advantage of using a hanging hammock is the speed of "installation", the hammock only needs to be hung. In combination with the tent, you can build a simple shelter from a hammock even in places where it is not possible to set up a tent.
