How high were you thinking of putting that hammock? There are only four kinds of animals you need to worry about in the woods at night:

-The ones that will trip over you, like moose.
-The hungry ones patient enough to wait for you to get out of the tree, like feral dogs.
-The hungry ones that like to climb trees, like catamount.
-And humans. Either other people, or the kind that roll over in thier sleep and fall out of thier hammocks. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
