Just cant really use it in the middle of a desert in AZ Agreed, when it is usable, which is most of the time when I am hiking up in NY state, as it is full of trees, a hammock with a pad is very comfortable and super easy.

Just cant really use it in the middle of a desert in AZ

I prefer it when I can use it because it is so small and light. Comfort is a lot better too. You make sense, If you are in an area with no trees then its useless This is true.

You also have to keep in mind that not everywhere you go will you find areas suitable to set up a hammock. There have been places I have been that just flat out dont have two strong enough trees close enough to set it up.

I get tired of NTP always carrying his entire house into the wilderness for his "extended stays" IMO he takes way WAYYY to much gear out there, and it is refreshing to see someone who subscribes a little more to my school of thought, meaning you dont need everything in your house to have a great trip Man, this was great!

Drop the pad, the bivy, and the tarp. Get a hennessey hammock and you dont have to worry about rain, snow, or scorpions (bugs) on the ground. You dont have to worry about rocks or unlevel ground. It will lighten your load further. The snake skins let you contain the whole thing into one cord. I fold the whole thing up and can fit it in a wide mouth nalgine bottle to keep it dry. If you need for insulation they have modular addons. Hey here is an idea for you. Drop the pad, the bivy, and the tarp.
