Where hammocks are(n’t) allowed

[WaffleBox]

Hi all. Is there an up-to-date guide somewhere that details where hammocks are or aren’t allowed, where 2” straps are required, etc?

Just to be safe I'm going to make 2 Turtle Dog Stands.
A couple of heavy duty stands will not take up much space when they aren't being used.
I almost have my wife pushed over the edge to get her a hammock.
I got started building a heavy duty stand, got one 6x6 cemented in the ground, I have the ends of the second post painted, and the hole dug, then it started raining...
To add to it Dental problem cropped up. I broke a tooth that supported a 4 tooth bridge. Tooth pulled, now I'm waiting to heal my mouth, then 2 implants to hold the bridge.
It's been a sleep in the recliner kind of day. It's been raining cats and dogs here.

Are there places requiring a 2" strap? I thought Florida State Parks did at one point but see they are now 1".
As for locations that don't allow hammocks, there are no up-to-date listings that I'm aware of.

I have a set of short 2" huggers that I got when Florida seemed confused about what size was acceptable. I carry them just in case.

I did recently find a list of NPs that do, or don't, here; https://sierramadreresearch.com/blog...national-parks

I like that Death Valley allows hammocks. Now the problem is to find two trees there.

That's why they have that handy tip of bringing your own stand.

Gateway Arch National Park, Missouri, And Illinois
Designated Campgrounds: No, Hammock camping is not allowed.

Now that would be interesting.....

Did notice a lot of the No Hammock camping allowed aligned with just no camping allowed. Example: Cuyahoga NP. here in Ohio. There is no back country camping hammock or tent.

I don’t know, that’s why I asked I’ve been out of the hammock camping game for a few years and the last time I did it I lived in Florida. I figured it might have spread from there, and I see multiple vendors offering multiple 2” strap options so I wasn’t sure.

Gotcha. Welcome back.

Last I checked, Texas required 2" tree straps; I haven't seen it enforced...ymmv.
