This is one of the things I did not anticipate about hammocking. If you don't own or have access to private property, there are a lot of rules that are meant to protect trees out there.
Also quite a few people of authority who's interpretation is quite inflexible. I have only hung my hammock one time when I was certain that I wasn't breaking someone's rules. Every other time I could have been told, or WAS told that I had to move on. It is a bummer, but also encourages me to camp in more interesting and secluded spots.
Is there any empirical evidence that shows that using webbing actually causes no harm to trees? Maybe it does...
