If a tree falls in the forest and kills you in the attached hammock...did you make a sound?

I once had a tree fall on my camp chair just after I stood up and left. There was nothing about the tree to indicate weakness. It was alive and in bloom.

Killed by white supremist beavers gnawing down the tree while he slept.

Biden is right, they truly are the biggest threat to America today!

= = =

But you might make the National News.

And also make some noise, as blabbed by the Fear Mongering MSM.

All hammocks will kill you!

It didn't say that, typo by the FReeper. He was merely hiking, the go fund me was setup after he died for his child.

Thank you for pointing that out. It changed my view 180 degrees.

My sister was napping in a hammock in the forest and got bit by a moose.

I didn’t realize that people now beg for college funds. That always seems to be a person issue.

This is fairly common on the Appalachian Trail. People worry about limbs coming down on hammocks. I can see the ridge where the AT runs from my front porch.

Did the whole rootball come out of the ground, or did it just snap-off at the trunk?

I’ve camped several hundred nights but I think tonight will be my first solo campout. I’m on a two week business trip and decided I’d want to get away from hotels
