Lightweight Camping setup?

[Gen273]

Can those of you with experience in this area share your opinion on a lightweight tent versus a hammock for hunting? I am not necessarily talking about an ultralight, but something under 8lbs or so.

I switched to a hammock/tarp for all my back country use a few years ago. It’s a steep learning curve, but it works well for me. I use mine all year. I don’t use an underquilt, just the 1/2 size foam mattress I carry for glassing, a 30° bag and my puffy jacket/pants. So far so good.

Thank you for the information. What hammock are you using?
