I have never been hammock camping, but I do carry one of these in my bag just in case. You can use it as a hammock, as a base for camouflaging something small, carrying someone wounded, etc. Rolls up to about the size of your fist. It's not fancy but would work in a pinch. http://www.specopstactical.com/olive-drab-super-hammock-p-1524.html
