Is it dangerous to be in a hammock during a serious thunderstorm, in a place where trees are often hit with lightning? Would the solution be to hang the hammock between two smaller trees (and not in the lee of any leaning trees, obviously)? Where I camp I've lived through some nasty thunderstorms, and I'm just not sure about riding one out in a hammock. Although obviously, it's better than being on the ground if lightning is striking all around (this has happened). Thoughts?
