I just got back from South Mountain State park where a ranger advised me that they just got a "memo" in regards to hammock use in the parks. They no longer allow hammocks in their parks. I explained using wide straps around the tress and all, which he thought was good as he was familiar, but said the state decided it was easier to ban them all than to ban certain types of suspensions. What led up to this was that the ranger actually asked what kinda tent setup I had. Luckly for me, I had just picked up a 1 man tent from REI with my dividend so I could still camp. It was a deal I couldn't pass up and I was planning to use it for campgrounds. I hate telling this, but would rather you know now.
