No, this isn't about Samuel L. Jackson doing a thru hike, just a bit of a paranoid thought...
Please forgive me if this sounds a bit silly, but I was curious as to the odds of a snake getting into a hammock. I plan to do some backpacking this summer, and I'm not the biggest lover of snakes. If I were tent camping, I would be a bit less concerned but I don't have a door on my hammock. Of course, I''m not too worried while I am in my hammock; rather when I set a base camp and come back to it later.
I figure that the lines and straps make for a difficult journey to enter a hammock, and when I have a bug netting up it would be pretty tough anyhow. And with a tarp, no kamikaze snakes would find their way from a tree.
Okay, so the chances are slim, but not impossible. Anyone ever heard of any situation where a snake found your hammock as comfortable as you do?
