For most casual campers and backpackers, it would be wild to consider sleeping in anything other than a tent in the backcountry. While car and trailer camping are great options for people who need a little more comfort or want to cover serious ground, tent camping is the gold standard for spending a night in the embrace of the great outdoors.

You may be surprised to learn however that tents aren’t the end-all, be-all of great camping and backpacking. You don’t actually need a tent to stay comfortable and secure in the wilderness. In fact, many of the most experienced backpackers have cast off the traditional tent for much lighter and versatile options, like a hammock or bivy sack.

Is a Tent Always Worth the Hassle?

One of the main reasons you might go out into the wilderness on a camping trip is to get away from the hassles and complications of modern life. Enjoying the simplicity of outdoor living is a major motivation for plenty of backpackers and hikers. So why put up with the hassle and expense of a tent? After all, if the idea is to go without anything that’s not absolutely necessary, you might eventually find you can eschew even a tent!

For those unfamiliar with alternative sleeping arrangements for an outdoor or backcountry trip, it might sound scary to stay out in the woods without a tent to protect you from the elements. The truth is, though, that options like a modern hammock, a bivy sack, or even a well-planned ground sleeping situation can be plenty comfortable for your next trip.

As you might guess, hammock camping is especially popular among ultralight backpackers and anyone else trying to reduce the weight they need to carry. Even a simple one-person tent can get heavy when you consider the weight of tent poles in particular.

Another advantage of the hammock setup or similar sleeping setups is that they often combine your sleeping gear with the protective gear into one unified sleep system. This way, you can be comfortable and secure while carrying very little gear, and this less weight.

The combined weight of a hammock and a sleeping bag is usually less than that of a single camping tent.

Basics of Hammock Camping

The good news is that hammock camping is a lot easier than you might imagine! The modern hammock camper has many options to choose from and a lot of high-quality and cozy alternatives. Plus, you can combine elements of different sleeping options to figure out the right system for you.

No matter what equipment you’re using, everyone’s needs are going to be different and you should experiment with different alternatives to find what works best for you. We all have different tradeoffs between the amount of weight we want to carry, how comfortable we want to be, and the kind of weather we plan to be camping in.

It goes without saying that hammock camping in a temperate climate on a dry night is much different from winter camping with the same equipment. So, if you’re going to try hammock camping, the hammock gear you’ll need will depend somewhat on the conditions you’ll be using it in, your own personal comfort level, and other factors like weight limits, how many people you need to provide shelter for, and more.

To start designing the perfect hammock system for your next trip, you should start by familiarizing yourself with different sleep system options for backpacking and camping. Beyond basic hammocking and a traditional tent, there are ground camping alternatives as well, like bivy sacks and simple tarp set-ups.

A bivy sack is a bit like a super-insulated sleeping bag, with a raised portion above the head to provide some space and protection from bugs. While they’re usually not waterproof on their own, adding a tarp or rainfly can solve this problem easily.

You can also simply combine a sleeping bag, tarp, and maybe a mosquito net to achieve a pretty comfortable sleeping situation right on the ground. That said, most people are a bit more comfortable with space between their back and the flat ground. So camping cots are one way to provide a bit of space, although hammocks are both lighter and generally considered more comfortable than a cot.

Hammock vs Tent Camping

What is it that makes hammocking so comfortable and popular? To put it simply, flat ground is often very uncomfortable. You can try to make up for it with sleeping pads and thick sleeping bags, but the fact is the ground is hard on your back. A hammock, when used correctly, can take a lot of pressure off your back. This is really important if you’re trekking quite a long way and need to carry a pack for days on end.

But it also allows you to carry more of other things, go longer without restocking, and be less burdened by everything you need to carry. This makes hammock camping an especially great option for anyone who needs to carry along additional equipment, such as photography equipment, fishing poles, or whatever else you need to bring with you ut to the backcountry.

So if you’re ready to get a good night’s sleep on your next camping trip or save your back a little bit of strain, consider switching out your standard camping gear for a hammock. Ground camping can be a fun and effective option, but after you try hammock camping for the first time, it’s unlikely you’ll ever go back. Especially after learning how to combat bugs, rain, wind, and more effectively in a hammock.

When You Might Need a Tent

There are, however, some camping situations where a tent is the better option. In particular, hammocks are usually only designed for one or maybe two people. If you want to sleep more than that in one place, hammocks aren’t the best option. You should also consider whether you’re up to climbing in and out of a hammock as they can be difficult for people with hip or back issues.

It’s also true that hammocks just don’t provide quite as much protection from the elements as tents do. For some, this is part of the appeal, as it allows you to be closer to the natural world. However. This means there are limits to the conditions in which you can use a hammock.

For bad weather or extended camping, you may be more comfortable in a tent. Still, there are definitely ways to make hammock camping possible in even the worst of conditions. In fact, we’ll cover winter hammock camping a bit below.

If you need a tent, though, and don’t find the tradeoffs worthwhile in order to switch to hammock camping, that’s totally fine. Everyone has different needs and desires when it comes to camping and backpacking, so figure out what works for you. Just don’t count out hammock camping without considering it first!

Setting Up the Ultimate Sleep System

Now that you’re ready to try an alternative to traditional tent camping, how can you design a sleep system that provides comfort, ease, and security? The first question to consider is whether you want to go for an alternative ground camping option or a hammock. One way to decide is to think about your sleeping position. Do you commonly sleep in your back? On your side?

For side sleepers, a bivy sack or cot may be a better option than a hammock. Hammocks, on the other hand, are ideal for people who sleep on their back, although I’ve heard plenty of side sleepers also find them comfortable.

If you go with a hammock, the only components you’ll truly need are your hammock and a suspension system. There are a few different suspension systems out there, but most rely on straps, ropes, and carabiners to attach your hammock to trees or other suspension points (such as rocks).

This is an important thing to consider: if you use a traditional hammock, you’ll need something to attach it to! Hammocks with a stand are going to be heavier and, at that point, you may just want to use a tent. Some suspension systems also require stakes for tie-outs just like a tent.

From there, setting up sleeping space in a hammock is similar to what you’d do for a tent. You’ll generally need an under-quilt, a top-quilt, and a sleeping bag to sleep comfortably. Unlike ground camping, however, you won’t need a sleeping pad to reduce the pressure from the ground. This is one real advantage of hammock camping, you can set up camp even in areas where the ground would otherwise pose an obstacle.

Rainflys are made with water-repelling materials to keep you dry in your hammock.

Waterproofing and Bug-Proofing

With both hammocks and bivy sacks, you’re also going to want some sort of waterproofing to help keep you dry in a sudden rainstorm. You can buy a rain fly made for a hammock or bivy sack rather than a tent, or use a rain tarp to stay dry. Some bivy sacks are waterproof on their own, but it’s always a good idea to use a rain tarp underneath as well. You’ll sometimes see rain flys for hammocks called “hammock tents” too.

Finally, if you’re camping somewhere where there are lots of bugs, a mosquito net might make sense to add. Many bivy sacks and camping hammocks come with bug nets included, but you should make sure to get one if the hammock you’re using doesn’t. You can often find rain tarps and mosquito nets combined, and a lot of the newer camping hammocks come with all of these things as well as self-contained suspension systems.

Hammocking and Ultralight Backpacking

As you can see, hammocks are a great option for ultralight backpacking. Since they weigh very little, are easy to set up, and even cost less than the average tent, they make a great option for anyone looking for less hassle in their next camping trip. Some suspension systems are much more complicated than others though, and you can certainly set up a hammock sleeping system that’s just as complicated as any tent.

In choosing the right type of hammock for your trip, you’ll want to consider material, size, suspension options, and more. When it comes to suspension options, you have many, many choices. You’ll probably need to experiment a bit to figure out what works best for you. It’s good to know some basic options and terms to start.

The “ridgeline length” refers to the distance between the two ends of your hammock, and it’s important to make sure you get the right sag in your hammock to lay comfortably above the ground. You can achieve this by using just ropes, special tree-hugger straps, webbing, and more. For those just starting out, the daisy chain strap is the easiest to use, although many hammock campers swear by webbing-based suspension options.

Setting Up Your Hammock

At the very basic level, there are a few things you’ll want to do to make sure your hammock is set up correctly for a good night’s sleep. The first thing to do is locate the right spot to set up your hammock. You want to find two trees the right distance apart, as well as making sure there’s nothing sharp or dangerous below. You should also try to use tres that aren’t rotting, dead, or harboring any animals that might be disturbed by you.

In fact, hammocks make it much easier to live out the “leave no trace” principles of responsible hiking and camping. So you should avoid setting up your hammock near active water sources and use established sites whenever possible. You can also use special tree hugger hammock straps to avoid injuring the trees you’re using.

From there, you want to hang your hammock with the straps at about a 30-degree angle from the ground. It can be tricky to get the angles and sag right the first few times, but eventually, you’ll figure out the best way to set up your hammock. In general, you want to create a sort of diagonal space for your body so you’re laying across the hammock. The bottom should be about 18’ from the ground.

Using a Hammock in Cold Weather

So I promised we’d also talk about how to use a hammock in cold weather. These days you can get a hammock that’s well suited for whatever weather conditions you need. As it’s gotten easier and easier to produce effective lightweight winter camping gear, the camping season has extended for many people who enjoy trips to the wilderness.

Hammock camping is no different. You can now buy hammocks specially created for winter camping. Just like winter sleeping bags, these hammocks use advanced insulation materials to keep you warm even in the harshest of weather. In fact, hammocks are going to be cheaper than full tents with similar temperature ratings. In particular, Hennessy hammocks come with lots of options for increased insulation, reflective rain flys, and more.

Again, keeping warm in a hammock in the winter is going to require a bit of experimentation to get it right. Try different insulation options, like hammock pads, and inflated layers. One tip you might not expect is that mosquito netting can actually help keep you warm. It provides something of a windscreen and, when used with other forms of insulation, can keep you quite comfortable in cold weather.

Final Verdict

While there is definitely a learning curve involved, anyone can learn to use a hammock or another alternative sleep system to explore the backcountry. In fact, if the point is to get as close to the natural world as possible, it’s amazing that anyone camps any other way.

A hammock can help you save money, protect your back, get more in touch with nature, and even live out your values more fully. After all, it’s much easier to “leave no trace” when you don’t have to set up a tent and everything involved in that.

But hammock camping is especially great if you’re trying to go further, carry more, or challenge yourself to camp with less. With the modern materials and technologies now available, it’s easier than ever to stay warm sleeping in a hammock. Once you get rid of all that weight taken up by your tent, you’ll be freer than ever to explore the world around you.

How to Take Your Own Internet to Outdoor Events

Published

October 18, 2025

Jonas Muthoni

You’ve got the permits, the lineup, the stage design, and the crowd — but when it comes to WiFi, outdoor events can turn from dream festivals to data dead zones in minutes. Reliable connectivity is now as essential as power or sound. Whether it’s a music festival streaming to TikTok, a food fair using mobile POS systems, or a corporate brand activation relying on live dashboards, the internet connection is what keeps the gears turning.

But the truth is this: counting on venue WiFi at a large outdoor event is a gamble. Hundreds of devices fighting for the same bandwidth can jam up the signal before the headliner gets on stage. Public networks only have one backhaul connection, so your production crew, security cameras, and vendors could all be fighting with concert-goers streaming YouTube in the crowd.

So, if your aspiration is to keep the event chugging along like clockwork, the genius move is to bring your own internet — designed specifically for the occasion, private, and controlled by your event staff.

Why Venue WiFi Fails When Crowds Arrive

Let’s start with the numbers. According to Cisco’s 2024 Annual Internet Report, the average person now connects four to six devices at live events — phones, wearables, tablets, scanners, and streaming gear. Multiply that by 5,000 or 50,000 people, and you’re looking at a digital traffic jam.

Outdoor locations have a very minimal amount of wired infrastructure. The majority utilize older systems or common fiber links, which were not designed for thousands of users at once. When the signal is over-stretched, latency increases, access points fail, and the network grinds to a halt.

For event organizers, this is not only inconvenient — it’s a safety and revenue gamble. POS terminals won’t work. QR ticket scanners crawl. Even backup communication programs freeze.

The Smarter Solution: Creating Your Own Network

Constructing a stand-alone network for an outside event may seem daunting, but technology has made it relatively achievable. Instead of relying on one provider or tower, professional crews now use several sources of the internet to deliver redundancy and stability.

Outdoor WiFi specialists use multi-carrier cellular bonding, satellite uplinks, and WAN smoothing to keep traffic consistent even when one source is down. It’s a lot like having several water pipes feed one tank — if one pipe gets stopped up, others keep the flow consistent.

The best configuration depends on three variables:

Location: Urban park, remote valley, rooftop, or open desert all have different signal profiles and line-of-sight challenges.
Bandwidth Demand: Are you providing power to a 50-person AV crew or streaming to a million online viewers?
Duration: A day-long music festival versus a week-long brand tour will change the way you plan power, cooling, and redundancy.

Professional crews will often pre-deploy with site surveys — gauging carrier strength, spectrum congestion, and potential sources of interference such as LED walls or nearby broadcast towers.

Lessons from the Field

Outdoor WiFi would be a niche specialty, but in today’s world it’s simply part and parcel of modern event production. In the last decade, TradeShowInternet’s teams have helped support hundreds of big outdoor festivals and corporate activations, and there have been a few hard-won lessons along the way.

There was the time crews climbed a half mile up the flank of a Santa Fe mountain with over 200 pounds of gear to put in a solar-powered relay antenna for Red Bull’s Guinness World Record truck jump. A second assignment involved digging cable trenches through snake country in Los Angeles for Christian Dior’s fashion show.

When Univision taped La Banda on the beach in Miami, technicians climbed a 20-foot truss into a lightning storm to raise antennas. These are probably war stories, but they represent reality: each outdoor location introduces its own wildcards. Wind, weather, terrain, and local RF noise all push the limits of planning.

The lesson? Experience is as important as gear. Knowing when to use additional directional antennas, when to flip to satellite failover, or how to protect a router from 100-degree heat isn’t something you can read in a manual.

The Technical Side: How Redundant Networks Keep Events Alive

This is how seasoned outdoor internet crews engineer reliability into temporary networks:

Multi-Carrier Bonding: Equipment stitches together data from multiple cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) to maximize bandwidth and fill signal gaps.

WAN Smoothing: Packets are duplicated and relayed on secondary paths to prevent noticeable drops or hiccups in live streams.
Satellite Integration: Especially when out at remote sites or in mountain events where cell phone reception is spotty.
5G + LTE Hybrid Units: Combining newer high-bandwidth 5G networks with more predictable LTE offers well-rounded throughput.
Portable Mesh Access Points: Create overlapping areas of WiFi that eliminate dead spots across vast grounds or over tented locations.
Power & Weather Protection: Ranging from Pelican case enclosures to solar power solutions, all of which ensure uptime regardless of adverse weather conditions.

It’s a multi-layer strategy — not one device straining the load, but several working in tandem to handle bandwidth, robustness, and coverage.

Why Your Vendors, AV Staff, and Guests All Need Their Own Network Layer

External events normally have three distinct user communities that require the internet:

Production and AV Personnel – operation of live feeds, mixing panels, lighting, and communications programs.
Vendors and POS Devices – card transaction processing, QR menus, and inventory software.
Guests and Media – posting, uploading, or taking part in brand interaction activity.

Mixing them all on one open WiFi is risky. It provides security vulnerabilities and causes too much congestion. The preferred method is network segmentation, creating separate virtual networks that prioritize mission-critical traffic (production, POS, security cameras) and restrict non-mission-critical use like social browsing.

This is exactly how professional outdoor WiFi & Internet solution companies like TradeShowInternet build event systems. They design bespoke topologies that match the unique demands of every event, whether a food festival, marathon, or big corporate activation.

Budgeting and Planning: What Organizers Should Know

According to EventMB’s 2024 Event Technology Report, 73% of event planners say maintaining a reliable connection is important to attendee happiness, yet less than half have a standalone internet budget in place upfront while planning. That’s a recipe for last-minute scrambling.

For all to run smoothly, the network plan needs to be created alongside stage design and power planning — not an afterthought.

Some planning advice:

Start early: Conduct site surveys at least 30 days ahead of the event.
Prioritize wired backbones: Use fiber or Ethernet in production areas whenever possible.
Segregate guest WiFi: Utilize bandwidth caps or sponsored captive portals to control usage.
Redundancy: Cellular + satellite bonding is well worth the investment for mission-critical space.
Post-event review: Collect performance data to inform next year’s plan.

Real-World Use Cases

Outdoor connectivity is not just for music festivals. It’s a necessity for:

Marathons and triathlons – for timing chips, live maps, and emergency co-ordination.
Outdoor conferences or summits – where executives require office-grade internet to make presentations.
Food truck festivals and markets – all vendors need POS access.
Film and TV productions – production villages rely on low-latency connections for uploads.
Races and motorsport events – telemetry, live scoring, and media streaming.

Each of these environments needs a different trade-off among coverage area, upload speed, and mobility.

Why Experience Matters for Outdoor Internet Installations

Each outdoor location is unique. Trees, humidity, metal buildings, even bodies of water can affect wireless performance. Having individuals who’ve done hundreds of installations means fewer surprises and faster repairs when something unexpected happens.

That’s where TradeShowInternet, a leading outdoor WiFi & Internet solution company, comes in. The company has built up networks on deserts, beaches, helipads, mountain ridges, and pop-up brand villages — keeping organizers, vendors, and AV teams connected wherever the event is hosted.

Outdoor Event WiFi: The New Backbone of Open-Air Experiences

Published

A concert in the canyon. A film night under desert stars. A bustling waterfront food festival with 10,000 guests. Across the country, outdoor events are turning parks, coastlines, forests, and fields into memorable destinations. But there’s one service now as essential as power, permits, and porta-potties: outdoor event WiFi.

Whether for ticket scanning, mobile POS systems, sponsor activations, or live-streaming performances, WiFi for outdoor events has become the invisible support that keeps everything running. Without it, payments stall, communication falters, and digital engagement stops.

Why Outdoor Event WiFi Is Mission-Critical

The outdoor events sector, from farmers’ markets to endurance races, is growing quickly. Allied Market Research predicts global festival revenues will exceed $50B by 2030. These venues offer unique charm, but they also pose a challenge: a lack of built-in internet infrastructure.

“Outside doesn’t mean offline,” says Emma Castillo, a production manager for festivals, film nights, and open-air corporate launches. “We rely on temporary internet for outdoor events to manage our security communications, allow vendors to keep selling, and ensure our livestreams don’t drop.”

Cellular service can struggle with the demands of thousands of devices. Some remote locations may not have any service at all. That’s where outdoor event WiFi solutions come in—portable, scalable, and designed for unpredictable weather.

How Outdoor Internet Keeps Events Moving

Today’s outdoor events rely on connectivity in ways that go far beyond letting guests post on social media:

Mobile POS & Cashless Payments – No signal means lost revenue for vendors.
RFID & Access Control – Real-time validation at gates and VIP areas.
Streaming & Social Content – From TikTok reels to sponsor livestreams.
Sponsor Engagement – QR contests, AR activations, and digital signage updates.
Safety & Logistics – Staff communication, emergency alerts, GPS tracking.

A recent Event Manager Blog study found 63% of sponsors now require guaranteed internet access before committing. Attendees want it too; more than half say connectivity is a key factor in their event satisfaction.

Outdoor Event WiFi Solutions in Action: “Lights on the Lake”

In June, the lakeside town of Lakeshore hosted a three-day open-air film festival. The views were stunning, but no wired internet was available, and mobile service barely worked.

The technical crew set up:

Multi-carrier 5G bonding for vendor and guest networks
Long-range weatherproof access points covering the pier and food court
A private secure network for organizers and emergency staff
A satellite uplink for backup

The festival processed thousands of transactions, streamed Q&A sessions with international filmmakers, and even operated a live voting app without a single connectivity failure.

Industry Perspective: Connectivity as a Core Utility

According to WiFit founder Matt Cicek, changes in event technology priorities have been significant:

“Five years ago, internet at an outdoor event was seen as a nice-to-have. Now, it’s as essential as running water and electricity. From safety coordination to sponsor returns, there’s too much at stake to leave it to chance.”

The Future of Temporary Internet for Outdoor Events

As events become more complex, WiFi for outdoor events from service providers like WiFit will play an even larger role. Expect advancements like:

Solar-powered network kits for sustainable operations
AI-managed bandwidth that adjusts to real-time crowd size
Edge computing for instant AR and interactive attractions

For event planners, the message is clear: the quality of your internet connection is as important as your stage, lighting, or sound system. The next time you’re booking a venue, remember—the crowd may be watching the performers, but they’re also looking at their screens. They expect both to work perfectly.

September 25, 2024

Caleb Cole

Outdoor enthusiasts know that having the right gear can make all the difference. Whether you’re hiking, camping, hunting, or engaging in any other outdoor activity, quality equipment ensures not only safety but also a better overall experience. As we head into a new season, it’s time to refresh your gear collection with essential items that will enhance your adventures. In this article, we’ll explore five pieces of must-have outdoor gear, focusing on both practicality and comfort.

Shooting Glasses Are Essential for Outdoor Adventures

If you’re heading out for a shooting range session or a hunting trip, investing in a quality pair of shooting glasses is non-negotiable. Eye protection is critical when engaging in any activity involving firearms, and shooting glasses are designed to keep your eyes safe from potential hazards like debris, shell casings, and even harmful UV rays.

Shooting glasses are a key safety measure that helps shield your eyes from impact and glare. The lenses are typically made from high-impact resistant materials that can endure tough conditions, making them a must-have for hunters, target shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Beyond safety, these glasses often come with polarized lenses to improve visibility in various lighting conditions. By incorporating shooting glasses into your outdoor gear, you’re ensuring not only better safety but also improved performance during your time in the wilderness.

What Should You Look For During Black Friday Hunting Gear Deals?

One of the best times to stock up on essential outdoor gear is during Black Friday. Black Friday hunting gear deals provide an opportunity for hunters to snag high-quality items at significantly reduced prices. Whether you’re after apparel, backpacks, or specialized equipment, Black Friday sales often feature steep discounts on top brands that every outdoor enthusiast should take advantage of.

This sale season is ideal for upgrading your hunting wardrobe and stocking up on essential gear that may normally be out of your price range. From weather-resistant jackets to durable boots and base layers, hunting gear can be pricey, and Black Friday is the perfect time to invest in the best equipment. By keeping an eye out for deals during this shopping period, you can save money while ensuring you’re well-prepared for your next big adventure.

Multi-Tools Are a Must-Have

Want to know the most versatile pieces of gear you can carry? It is a multi-tool. Whether you’re camping, hiking, or hunting, having a tool that can serve multiple functions is a game-changer. Multi-tools come equipped with a variety of features such as knives, screwdrivers, pliers, and scissors, all compactly housed in a single device that easily fits in your pocket or pack.

The practicality of a multi-tool is hard to beat. It allows you to tackle unexpected tasks, from cutting rope to repairing gear, all without needing to carry a full toolbox. When you’re out in the wild, you want to be prepared for anything, and a multi-tool ensures you’re ready to handle small emergencies or make quick fixes with ease.

Insulated Water Bottles Can Improve Your Outdoor Experience

Staying hydrated is one of the most important aspects of any outdoor activity. Whether you’re embarking on a long hike or spending hours in a hunting blind, having an insulated water bottle can make a difference. Insulated bottles have features that help to keep your drinks at the desired temperature for a long time, which is especially useful during extreme weather conditions.

These bottles maintain the temperature of your beverage—whether cold or hot—so you can enjoy refreshing water in the summer or a warm drink during chilly morning hunts. Insulated water bottles are also typically made from durable materials, meaning they can withstand the rigors of outdoor use without breaking or leaking. Investing in a high-quality insulated bottle ensures that you stay hydrated and comfortable throughout your outdoor excursions.

Durable Backpacks Can Enhance Your Outdoor Experience

A good backpack is the cornerstone of any successful outdoor trip. When you’re out in nature, you need a reliable, durable pack to carry all of your gear comfortably. Look for backpacks that are built to withstand harsh conditions, provide ample storage, and have ergonomic designs that distribute weight evenly to prevent strain on your back and shoulders.

Modern outdoor backpacks come equipped with multiple compartments to help you stay organized, as well as specialized features like hydration bladder compatibility, rain covers, and reinforced straps. By investing in a durable, well-designed backpack, you’ll have the capacity to carry everything you need—whether it’s extra clothing, food, or hunting gear—while maintaining comfort during long treks.
