Here is a great question that I have never seen talked about or asked .
If you are hung between two trees and one of the trees is struck by a bolt of lightning will you get hurt ? or killed ? :scared:

I know of at least two threads dealing with this in detail. I can't find them but maybe some else can.
It's been discussed in pretty much detail around here, but the general conclusion is that it's just about as dangerous being under a tree in a tent when it gets struck by lightning as it is being in a hammock. Lightning is scary stuff, especially when you do a lot of hanging just shy of treeline like I do.
I appreciate the info fellows , good reads! alot of theorys in place...I guess it just boils down to conditions. I really appreciate the feedback.
