Sample text
It’s a good idea to inspect your gear before and after each hang. When experimenting or testing different techniques, (for example, trying a descender ring with webbing straps) put gear in your hammock to simulate a weight load before sitting in it yourself. Knots should be tied correctly and securely. Just as a rock climber learns to trust her gear, you will find where your gear feels most secure and where it can take you. Never take it for granted. Lightning Safety Are hammocks safer in a thunderstorm than tents?
Away from streams or lakes and use small amounts of biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater. 4. Leave What You Find It is easy to minimize site alterations by using a hammock. There is no need to remove rocks, twigs, or pine cones from a site. Avoid damaging live trees and plants. Preserve the past: observe, but do not touch, cultural or historic structures and artifacts. Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them. Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species.
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts Campfires are a fun, often integral part of camping for warmth and companionship. In some areas, you could conceivably hang your hammock near a fire, but this can be very dangerous. Where campfires are permitted, be wise and don’t pitch a hammock too close to an open fire. Most camping hammocks and tarps are made with highly-flammable nylon fabrics. Campfires can cause lasting impacts to the backcountry. Use a lightweight stove for cooking and enjoy a candle lantern for light.
