We’re here on #NationalHammockDay to remind you that even the laziest of outdoor recreation can still cause damage to our environment. Don’t get us wrong; we love hammocking too, so we’ve got a list of things you can do to protect the trees you strap your ropes around: 📏Find a tree larger than 6 inches in diameter 🌲Choose the thickest part of the tree trunk to attach your ropes too 🪵Use the widest straps you can find - one inch or thicker 🌱Place small sticks between the tree’s bark and your straps to alleviate the pressure #Hammock #HammockDay #OutdoorRecreation #Recreation #Adventure #Outdoors #OutdoorAdventure 📸: Wikicommons Image: Three hammocks hang in the midst of a dense forest.
