This weekend I'll be camping out in a hammock to see how I like it. It's a bit heavier and more space in the pack than my ultralight floorless tent/ or tarps but I'm hoping the good night rest will make up the difference. I don't sleep bad on the ground but i sure sleep better in a hammock.
I tried a hammock ONCE.. and froze my ***** off. My lesson learned was to use a really good sleeping pad under your sleeping bag, without it, the air just sucks the heat from you. I would try it again but with more insulation.
