April 25, 2008, Newsletter Issue #112: Rope Damage to Trees

Tip of the Week

The goal in hanging your outdoor hammock or when hammock camping is to leave nature as you found it. If you're using the wrong ropes you can damage and even kill young trees. A little precaution in this area is necessary. Pick trees to use that are four to twelve inches in diameter. Use wide polypropylene straps that will disperse the hammocks weight. This will prevent any bruising of the tree.
