Locale: Mid Atlantic

I am mostly in the Mid Atlantic area but I have hung in the southeast as well. If you can find two trees at the right length you can live the dream.

I have seen many people hang without trees close to boulders too

Locale: Loco Libre Gear

I own Loco Libre Gear, a manufacturer of top and under quilts, and I can say that I sell a lot (LOT) of quilts in the western half of the country. That includes a large proportion in CA, OR, and WA.

I will hang anywhere(almost). if it is physically possible to rig a tarp and two anchor points close enough together.

I sleep both ways- hammock in the East and tent in the West, especially if I’m above tree line in the Rockies.

I got hooked on hammocks in Kodachrome state park in Utah with an Eno doublenest. Since then I’ve hammocked out west and in the east quite a bit. Its not the lightest way to go but I think the most enjoyable. Especially in a heavy rain storm, I can relax better in a hammock than I can in a tent. I have a bunch of hammocks but I still like my Blackbird if bugs are out and an 11ft 2ply open hammock for winter. I use a cuben hex tarp by MLD most of the time and an edge with doors in the winter. I’ve stayed out down to 15* in winter, even woke up once to find coyote tracks in the snow beneath me once!

A hammock is just a hanging bivy sack. No trees, no problem. Bivy mode.

North East. All trees and rocks by me unless it’s an actual “campsite”. Just makes sense to use a hammock. And oh so comfortable.

California hanger here. I had a great hang in San Gorgonio mountains, East of Los Angeles. Definitely need longer straps out here, but totally doable. I have both an underquilt and a sleeping pad. If I’m going somewhere where I don’t know if there’ll be usable trees, then I bring the sleeping pad and then I can just go to ground and tarp tent.
