I sleep in a hammock at home. Right now I’m using Derek Hansen’s Smartphone Ridgeline Lifehack to hang my smartphone from my ridgeline. In the morning before I get out of my hammock, I like to journal for 15 minutes. I use a private WordPress site for my journal, with the PressSync app on my phone. I keep this foldable bluetooth keyboard in my ridgeline organizer that I unfold and place on my lap to type so I don’t have to gorilla-arm up to my ridgeline to somehow use the teeny digital keyboard… It took a while to get used to the numbers and symbols, but once I got the hang of it I could type almost as quickly as on my regular keyboard, and it’s light enough to take backpacking if blogging/journaling/writing is a priority. (Apparently it’s not available on Amazon anymore, but you can read the reviews and perhaps track down a newer model or something similar…)
All that said, I’ve definitely got my eye on the Hangtime Hook — I have trouble with my phone sometimes slipping to a vertical position instead of remaining perfectly balanced horizontally (so I can read the screen). I think the Hangtime Hook looks pretty cool, and it is the Christmas season… They weigh something like 80 grams, and I’ll have to see if it’s something I want to take backpacking. But I’m pretty sure I’ll be buying one for home use at least, and if it’s awesome enough it’ll justify its own weight for backpacking 🙂
