FEAR
False Evidence Appearing Real
We make up a lot of stuff in our heads. A little cognitive restructuring or rethinking our assumptions makes a big difference. Risk and fear is more about perception rather than reality. I paddled some class II and III water this last week solo. My biggest fear, reality based I would say, was the interstate driving home.
Do it, relax and enjoy it.

Exactly: practice tarp and hammock tied to the trees and also tarp set up on the ground with hiking poles. Or, on the ground tied to small trees, too small to hurt you and probably too small to hang from, but still fine to tie a tarp to, even if just one end, with the other tied to a hiking pole. But when armageddon does not happen or threaten, there you are hanging from your hammock. Which will probably be 90+% of the time. But if you think it is getting dangerous, you are safe on the ground just like you were before you ever thought of hammock hanging!
A lot of us had switched to tents from tarps before discovering hammocks, so it is all 2nd nature. All going to a hammock required that was new as far as shelter goes was hanging the tarp a bit higher, so that there is room to hang the hammock.
