This is the perfect sleeping arrangement for an adventure hiker or camper who doesn't want to worry about getting rained on, but still wants the outdoor hammock experience. Some of these rugged models are rated for a literal ton of weight, and come in the olive drab color Army Surplus shoppers love.
