Me like 6 to 8 inch trees, umh! (Where did I learn to talk like that?) Nice job, Shug.

Thanks Shug. A good reminder for all of us. In AZ the same can be said for Cactus. You need to find the right cactus to hang from or things go go south quickly.

Cool pillow Shug.
Shug - thank you for the reminders and info. I commented to the HYOH guys in one of the posts about how key site selection is and how hard it is to do in the dark. Setting up with some kind of daylight helps you visually see a bigger picture. I've seen the top of a healthy looking pine snap off in a light wind (10 mph) and land 20 feet in front of a car at a scout camp. It is so hard to tell sometimes.

Winter hanging in a deciduous forest presents a whole new challenge, they all look dead! Great info and resources, thanks Shug!
I wouldn't recommend hanging between Bradford Pears either.

Good stuff, Shug!
Sometimes, looks are deceiving. As already noted, "healthy" limbs snap, and dead trees are surprisingly stout. I have tried to push dead oaks over with my loader, and had to leave them for another year or two.

Don't forget to scan for critters, the trees are thier home too, recently on a hang some coons decided to leave the homestead and it was creepy, as I suspended from the home tree.
