    Everyday images that remind you of hammocking.



    Saw this from the cartoonist the oatmeal today and can't help but thinking he's captured what Shug would be like as a seagull...
    Anyone else have some fun images/ memes that remind you of hammocking?

    Not quite what you mean, but today I was sitting in the backyard and a young blue jay scared itself when it landed on an empty plastic jug that was sitting on a trash can. Of course it fell to the ground and the jay flapped off saying "eek!" It then landed on a bench in the yard right next to the hammock and I said "go ahead, try out the hammock!" and danged if it didn't jump into the hammock and hop around a little before it flew off!!!

    I can just imagine a tree with tiny little hammocks for the birds... maybe that's what I'll do with all those scraps of ripstop!

    I find myself looking at random trees for the right span to hang from...you know...just in case I ever need to hang there.

    I think almost everyone here does this even in our subconscious.

    Similarly, I am always on the lookout for dead trees and/or widow makers. It's not necessarily hammock specific, but a habit I've gotten into since the kids got really into camping/backpacking with us.

    Forklifts at my work [oddly] remind me of hammocking. Probably because I've seen some pics of people hanging hammocks from them.
