    I’m always checking to make sure I don’t hang in the path of a game trail. I don’t ever want to get a bump in the night

    Great! Not only do I have to worry about evil , needle toothed ,rabbid raccoons, blood sucking , human stalking spiders, brain eating earwigs , mosquitoes , deadly disease carrying assasin bugs, widow makers and a rotten tree, now I have to worry about a hammock killing stallion deer too? I might as well just sell it all now lol

    Ditto on game trails.

    While moving, I slightly backed into the prong on a set of moose horns, had a huge awful bruise, I only lightly bumped the darn thing.

    I have always been nervous about getting in the way of antlered animals. Game trails, around water and on roads.

    I just burst a gut in a laughter. Disease carrying assassin bugs....

    Hey, Chesapeake, it’s probably best you never come to Australia!

    We don’t have raccoons, but a few other things make up for it:

    Um, yeah I won't be coming anywhere near Australia, let alone your entire hemisphere. Did you see the ****ing fangs on the spider! And there is NOTHING at all "common" about a DEATH adder lol. I'd much rather have my weak, COMMON, docile, NOT DEADLY ( well, most of them anyway not counting a certain raccoon that has a need for human flesh and a pack of soul sucking spiders that work as a team to try and wrap me in a web for a buffet dinner but they dont look like that hell beast!) NORMAL animals and bugs, instead of everything that isn't a human being lethal! LoL

    I set up about 5 feet or so from a game trail without realizing it until a wild hog strolled by around 11 p.m. I wasn't quite asleep when I heard him coming towards me grunting happily on his way somewhere. I yelled at him and he took off. That was my first night in a hammock, and the most exciting.
