All my hammocks are meant to go unnoticed, to blend into the scenery. browns and greens
only time I can be Located, is when my brothers "the ground dweller" joins me with his bright orange single man taco shell.

We seriously need to get the SoCal folks out for a hang sometime soon. I'm actually headed to Henninger Flats this weekend to test some gear but I'm most definitely up for a group hang of sorts. A scouted an area a couple weekends ago up in the West Fork area of the San Gabriel's and found some really nice spots.
After the rain we're getting this weekend, there supposedly will be snow around 2000 ft. elevation...hopefully it's true. Either way, rain or shine, I will be at Henninger Flats in Altadena this weekend.
I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd chime in.
I'm very much a hanging noob, only 1 overnight in the Eno so far (Spruce Grove).
Since then, all my ground dwelling backpacking trips have kept me on the lookout for spots to hang. My past few trips have been into The Sespe Wilderness area.
I have to say, some areas get pretty sparse on hanging options, especially if you're traveling with ground dwellers. Sites start to be an either/or scenario.
I've also noticed many of the shorter potential trees grow almost like bushes, it'd be a fight through dead wood to get at their stubby trunks.
I've found decent trees with moderate consistency near water.
Guess I'm still a little worried about hanging in territory I haven't scouted as a ground dweller.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, & narrow-mindedness, & many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men & things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
