Hey everybody I'd like to get some ideas from everyone on topics, tips, safety, how to, etc
While attending a camp out this past weekend with our troop at Stone Door in East TN we had a very close call that has spawned the discussion of the need for a hammock camping class for the troop.
One patrol was hammock camping and the other was not. One buy happened to setup one end of his hammock on a dead tree. When he went to sit in it the dead tree snapped and came crashing down. Thankfully no one was injured! The tree easily weighed a couple hundred pounds and could have done some serious damage.
So as being a hammock camper and in on the discussion, I volunteered to put together a course for the boys.
That's where I'd really appreciate your help. Please post up any links, videos, ideas, etc to be added to the lesson plan.
Obvious items we will cover:
Tree selection
Height
Weight
Spacing
Ridgeline
Rain flys
Insulation
Thank you all in advance.
