Thanks to several Hammock Forums members for the help with this story I did on hammock camping for the June issue of Rural Missouri. You can see the story in our digital edition here: http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/rura...php?startid=28

Especially appreciate Stuart holding still for the photo! After the shoot, we learned that St. Charles County (Mo.) parks don't allow hanging! But the ranger was cool about it. They have a standard rule that nothing can be attached to trees in the park. Probably a good rule, I'm not sure some of the folks who use this park know what a tree is...

We talked a lot about organizing a Missouri group hang in the fall, maybe at Pine Ridge Campground near Columbia. Who's in?
