    Wow! I'm really glad nobody was hurt!

    But now I'm confused. If a tree falls in a forest and there are people around to hear it, does it make any noise?

    Just kidding. Glad everyone made it out of that safe and sound.

    Upon first entering this thread, I thought I was going to see how Dutch had somehow hung his hammock from a downed tree. Glad no one was hurt!

    I was wondering if by pulling the tree that fell from two other trees that encouraged the tree to make a field goal between the two other trees. I know if it wanted to fall in another direction it would have, but those tarp flyz really give some mechanical advantage to tension up the tarp

    Wow - I'm glad you are OK! I was terrified about a month ago when a branch crashing down 20 feet from my hammock woke me up.
