I'm wondering what everybody's experiences has been camping in urban areas? I used to do a bit of hitchhiking with my hammock, and sometimes it would be a real headache decided where to hang for the night, trying to avoid private land and people, especially police. I usually kept my pack in the hammock with me, in case someone found my camp and decided to run away with it before I could get out of my nest and put a boot to 'em. Any tips, stories, etc? I've not done any real hitchhiking in awhile, since I've settled into a stable, stationary lifestyle, but I'm going to be spending this summer volunteering in California, and afterwards I'm planning to hitch my way back to Tennessee.
