The more I read through Hennessy's website, the more I like the idea of a hammock tent. Nothing like setting up camp in under five minutes. With the larger fly, you could shelter the bike, too (assuming the ground below the hammock is suitable for parking). Too bad these things are so damn expensive. I would definitely want one that zips up completely to keep the bugs out.

Still not sold on stashing my gear, though... helmet, boots, etc. In a tent, it's sheltered and open to air out at the same time. Stuffing it all together in some bag to potentially hang outside in the rain... eh, stink.

Also have to consider lack of privacy if I have neighbors. They might not appreciate seeing my bare ass changing clothes.
