Edit: I sometimes keep forgetting the meme communities on Lemmy are incapable of taking things as the joke they are. Y’all worry too much about taking shit seriously. Chill out lol

    I used to hate camping for this reason.

    Then I learned how to set up a hammock. It’s (roughly) the same amount of effort to set up, but I actually sleep better than in a bed.

      Switching to hammocking made a huge difference for me!

      Eventually I did the AT and hammocked almost every night. Only drawback was leaving my pack outside overnight and picking off the spiders and insects in the am.

        You mean picking the spiders from you or from your backpack?

        I case of the former, there are mosquito nets for hammocks. I use them when I go wild camping with my hammock almost every time.

        I’m case of the later, maybe putting on the rain protection might help, as you can pull it off and give it a good shaking in the morning.

          Picking them off my pack.

          I use a hammock gear hammock, attached bug screen and internal ridge line. So it pops right up as you hang it.

        I love my backpacking cot, sets up in like 2 minutes and I’m off the ground and can lay comfortably anywhere, I like to lay by the fire before bed at night, it’s perfect.

      It’s pretty much the only way I get a decent nights sleep while camping, even with a great air mistress my back gets sore

      Tangentially related: setting up hammocks in my living room was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s so comfortable.
