Weathering a storm in a hammock, that would be my only concern.
No. But a few years ago I was hanging during a noreaster with another hammocker (Ordin Aryguy) who was on the ground that trip . During the night we each heard a tree fall. We both thought it landed on the other guy. We were at most 50 yds (Ordin, correct me if I am in error on that) away from each other. It came down right between us, both of use were safe. We had some firewood for the next night though.
