Some friends swear this is the cats meow for camping hammocks and it's priced right.

For a back pack, this one comes in at 2lbs 11ozs and is on sale now

The big problem with the hammock is when there are no trees and you don't have big enough hiking sticks your not going to like the results especially at above tree line in the winter months.

I would prefer a free standing like this.

I know it comes in heavy at 5lbs but winter camping is that this will keep you dry and its light enough without the fly if your trip will have good weather.
 
I am looking for a lightweight camping hammock that includes rain protection built into the tent. I do not want to spend 100s either. I saw one for 300 dollars and that is too much. Also, I am looking for a lightweight backpack. Optimally both would be compact and lightweight. I do not know much about brands, functions, and types. Please help.
