On what?
The National Forest here has been invaded by insidious corporate interests disguised as environmental activists. And they have a stranglehold monopoly on all of the prime campsites in the region. They are also notoriously crowded and loud.
Since the land is public, you can camp anywhere you want. There are some rules. You need to be 200 feet from a trail, 200 feet from rivers, lakes, or ponds. YOu have to be 1/4 mile from any road. And you have to be 1/4 mile from any of the established "corporate" campsites. That leaves a few hundred thousand acres where you can do whatever the fuck you want.
Except, almost all of that is on a steep slope, densely wooded, or really far from a usable water source. It's possible, but not exactly easy to find a suitably flat spot to put a tent.
The solution, hammocks.
I've got this, and I'm fucking dying to try it out.

I can't carry this setup and a tent, so I have to pick one. I'm anxious to try the hammock, but I also don't want to be stuck freezing my ass off all night while I'm 10 miles into the wilderness.
Temps are looking to be in the low 40's overnight and some rain showers are likely.
Assuming that I'm using the same insulating pad, and sleeping bag with either setup, would I be warmer in a tent, or in the hammock
