No World Record Attempt??

I was searching the web after wondering how many hammocks were hung in one place and thought that I would find at least one record attempt on the Guinness World Records website. It appeared that no attempt has been made, or at least one that was recorded. I found one record attempt though on another web site. 125 people laid on their hammocks on Santa Monica Pier and relaxed near the ocean. This looks like nothing more than a marketing gimmick though. Info was found on recordsetter.com

So the question begs to be asked.:confused: Why is there no Guinness World record for this?? And, how many HF members would be willing at taking a crack at setting a record attempt with Guinness for the most hammocks hung in one location? I know I'd consider it depending on the location from home and would think we could surpass the 125 they claim is the record!:thumbup:

Another thread lead me to google largest hammock hang record and this thread (or post) came up.

It would be fun to have a HF contest to try to get the biggest group hang. East Coast -vs- West Coast. Probably need to add Texas too. If it was big enought I would think most sponsors on here would participate.

I am fairly sure I have seen wooden boats on the Amazon with more than 125 hammocks hang'n at one time on them. My church camp as a kid had several hundred hammocks hanging in one huge barn like room at one time. Then spread out throughout the tree's during the daytime. But a North American record would be fun.

The record between just 2 trees at the same time is definitely more than 6, probably about 10 or more.

East coast vs west coast + Texas?
I think youre leaving out about 30 states.....Not too mention our friends up north.

Sounds like a great idea though.
