What a great idea! Too bad they made him take it down.

Looks like a sparrow?!

Just 'cause you can doesn't mean you should.
Kinda gives hammocks a bad rep.
He shoulda just set up a tent.

Shug

What a tool. Gee, what did he think would happen? Huge liability issue for the Airport.

No one ever said us hangers are a smart bunch

He didn't have a proper 30 degree hangle! Yeah, that hanger didn't think too much about how that might have been received!! LOL. At least no trees were harmed!

Those hanging angles though. Take what you can get.

You think so? Huh, I'm not sure. It doesn't appear to have zipper hoods at the ends and it seems to have tie-out points on the body/side of the hammock. It also looks like there's a pocket (or something?) hanging off the outside at/near the middle of the hammock. I'm not sure what brand or model of hammock has those features...

Regardless, I agree that this guy isn't putting hammocking in a particularly good light. Not a good idea, imho.

As long as others aren't inconvenienced, what's the harm? If you're stuck, you're stuck. Gotta rest somewhere, and this is no worse than sleeping on the floor.
