You can in a pinch use two poles as stakes and hang your hammock from them. It's not ideal and your butt is still on the ground a little, but better than nothing. I don't think I'll ever have to, but better prepared than not

I am not a hammock guy but IMO this is not realistic nor would i try it.
likewise, no hammock....
and likewise, i don't see how sticking a thin pole into the ground a couple of inches is going
to support a person who weighs between 60 pounds and 200 pounds........
at most, and this still wouldn't work i believe, one would have to have guy lines staked out to give it some
support.....
i wouldnt even waste the time trying this knowing that the end result will be sleeping on the ground...
