Rafe -

Absolutely correct about the hammock.  Rare is the location I've hit where 
there are not two trees or, alternatively, someplace I can't stick my poles 
to prop it on (although I've got to say that the one time I hung it that way 
it seemed a lot less secure than hung from the trees, even if it does work).  
Nicest thing is that level ground is unnecessary.
