Where do you keep your shoes?

[leiavoia]

Shoes on the ground make excellent cup holders.

Depends on how I'm camping.

Car Camping:
- in camp chair under tarp

Backpacking:
- in ridgeline gear hammock -or- ( favorite )
- slung over ridgeline -or-
- in stuff sack under hammock ( least favorite )

I firmly shake anything and everything before I put it on.

Remember hiking with someone who placed his shoes underneath the hammock. He got up, inserted foot, only to feel a squishy caterpillar. No harm done, but it wasn't pretty.

I keep my boots under the hammock. No issues here. I usually knock the dirt and stuff out before inserting my foot. I do not always do this before inserting my foot in my mouth unfortunately.
If there is a concern, I have moved a log and set them up off the forest floor on the log.

I'd always left my shoes under the hammock, until my boots floated away during a particularly nasty rainstorm. Now I use a 12" dynaglide dog-bone to connect them to my hammock's foot-end tie-outs. Easy enough to reach when I sit up in the morning, plus they're always right where I left them.

I usually have mine on the ground or on top of my pack (which is on the ground), but if I'm in Rattler country I will hang them on either my ridgeline or the head end of the hammock, near where the suspension meets the whipping.

I've found that wearing them on my feet works best. .

[dakotaross]

I've always kept my shoes underneath, right where I left them as I sit and spin into the hammock. As I sit up and spin, they're right there waiting on my feet. One reason a love the Salomon quick laces. No need for additional camp shoes.

[esmith]

Yup, like most I leave mine on the ground and have not had a problem. I'm in Canada though so snakes are not really a thing for us in Central Alberta.

or scorpions, or poisonous spiders.... Etc......

On the ground tarp right under my hammy. I like to provide shelter to poor homeless scorpions and tarantulas
... Seriously though, it's no biggy to just shake them out when I get up. Knocks the debris off the bottoms, too.
