Tried using a hammock instead of a tent on a 3 night trip in the Smokies and woke up with a backache every morning.

I figured the rocking motion would help me sleep deeper but the sag just killed my lower back, has anyone else had this problem with hammock camping?

Wait, @the_nathan, you actually slept totally flat in a hammock?

Same thing happened to me on my first hammock trip in the Smokies. Had to learn the hard way that lying totally flat with a ridge line and some diagonal positioning makes a huge difference.
