In any case, a group hang in Belgium would be awesome. If possible, we could go to Bastogne and have a Battle of the Bulge Hang.

The campingplaces you are looking for are provided by Staatsbosbeheer in the Netherlands. There are some near the Belgium border.

Have look at http://www.staatsbosbeheer.nl/Overna...=Vrij+kamperen

These places are defined by their coordinates, (hard to find otherwise). Most provide a pump and fire ring.

If you actualy organize a group hang in Belgium, I 'm interessted in joining.

Thanks for this. The pictures are very inspiring and it seems the folk had a nice time.

I plan to try to get back there for a longer visit in a year or two, hopefully we can time it for a group hang. Pick up some Trappist beers, some good cheese, and settle down in the woods. Sounds like heaven.

Hello Mustardman,

I am incredibly jealous of you who gets to live in Colorado, in some of the most beautiful countryside anywhere in the world. Definitely keep in touch, if you get over here hopefully I will have things sorted out enough with my hanging skills, have had some places scoped out and have met some more hammock people for us to hang out with.
