Canada>Alberta > Alberta Hammock Hangers

[Caminante]

I'm not in Alberta, but I used to live in Grande Prairie many years ago. I'm going to be in Calgary in mid-September and am also interested in a 2-3 day trip within several hours of Calgary. It looks like Banff is not so hammock-friendly depending on ranger discretion. I might risk it and take a z-rest for backup.

Bummer dude. That sucks.

Does anyone know where to find the rules and regulations for using a hammock in the Canada National Parks... Specifically Banff, Jasper, Kananaskis & Yoho. I've been looking on the web and I can't seem to find any official information.

Is anyone interested in a hang in the Kananaskis area? I've got all my new gear and am excited to get out and use it. My regular days off are Wed / Thurs and I have Tues off every second week. I plan to be out every other week at least but I'd love to find some local Alberta Hangars, though I'm certainly not opposed to visitors from anywhere else that want to join in on the fun.

Figure out a time and place a couple weeks ahead and I'll try to get the boss to let me zip out there from Saskatoon!

Heya, I'm just in Edmonton. I have a weird 5 days on/5 days off schedule so I'm sometimes available for some mid week hikes/camp outs. And if anyone knows people that wanna try it out I've got a couple extra Hennessy asym ultralights as extras. Not ideal for bigger folks but I'm a smaller dude so that's just what I got

As far as national parks go, if you mention when you're booking spots that you have a hammock I've always been told that hammocks are a no go, but in person I've never been told to take it down and even had a couple rangers think it's pretty neat. So I dunno, maybe I've just been getting lucky.

So yeah, hopefully we can get a hang organized. All my buddies think I'm nuts, would be nice to meet some other folks that are as well, heh.

I want to hang, but I still have no tarp.

Get a cheapie blue in the mean time. No excuse to not hang!

I found my Hennessey asym tarp. I can't get out at least, but the thief still my rigging bag. It had my pegs, tree traps and other guy lines. I'll have to make a new set of tree straps.
