I’ve got a friend who did many a trips through Asian jungles. Worked in Sumatra, went to Borneo, Papua and so on. She bought a Hennessy hammock for a ridiculous price, and said it was just the best decision. Not only no broken poles, but also no problems of finding a level spot without too many roots. One one particular trip, a small creek became a stream and would have washed away any tent.
However, she’s in Switzerland now. Wild camping is only legal in most cantons above 2000m. There’s a certain lack of trees in a certain height which makes hammocks difficult to use…
