I just picked up one of the Lawson hammocks. It seems like a nice hammock, but it is quite bulky for trying to hike light. But I like the built in bug netting:

Found a couple of nice cheap hammocks on Amazon that pack very small. I'm going to use this in conjunction with a couple of the USMC MARPAT tarps for cover. Big thing to me is that in a hammock, you're off the ground and not wet in a deluge. I've been in a tent a couple times where I thought I put it in a high and dry spot only to wake up in the night soaked by a downpour. It sucks when everything gets wet and your out for a couple days. Hope to give it a try soon before the temps turn lower! Looks like it is going to be a cold snowy winter down here in SW Virginia.
I was looking for a while for a cheap surplus military tent on Ebay. Funny, surplus items now seem like they command top dollar. Ended up getting a 2 person USMC Diamond brand tent that had a decent BIN price. Easy to set up and it has a fly.
