sorry for the late reply mate, haven't checked this for a while.
I stealth/gypsy camped all the way (France-Austria via Czech Rep.) Check out my profile for the [ahem] 'blog'. The hammock has pro's and cons. It packs down small, there's no poles and it goes up very easily. It can be comfortable but it takes some getting used to in my experience. You will still need a mat because mosquitoes can bite through and being off the ground means you will lose heat quicker so having a layer there is pretty essential. I slept in graveyards, public parks, playgrounds, sports fields etc. when wooded areas weren't available and you learn to recognise good sleeping spots after some time.
Where are you planning on going?
