    urban tree camping

    Saw this video on youtube awhile back, thought it was a neat idea. I would try it, but It doesn't seem that safe.

    Pretty adventurous. I'd never hang higher than I am willing to fall. I'm not a climber so I am not accustomed to trusting my life to my gear in that manner.

    +1. I am a climber and I wouldn't hang my hammock that high in a tree.
