I know there are a lot of campers and adventurers that are on Cake, and probably a great number of you that like to sleep in hammock?

I was reading an article this morning about the number of National Parks that this isn't allowed or has restrictions and thought it would be a list you might want to bookmark so you can take a tent or look for a place to sleep outside the NP.

You might be surprised how many require a stand, not only in designated campgrounds but also when you are backcountry camping.

A normal good option is most NP's the surrounding land is generally BLM land so restrictions are nowhere near as harsh.

If you have any good suggestions/ comments for Hammock sleepers please add them

What about bears?

And birds pooping on your head?

Curious.

I stayed overnight in Yosemite in 2011, in an open door bunk room.

All food, deodorants , shampoo, anything that might attract a bear, had to be placed in bear proof containers outside the bunkhouse.

A bear would rip open a car to get any food or anything that smelled nice to them.

I’m not sure what precautions you take if camping away from main centers ?

To them you're just a big burrito, but remembers bears can climb trees, so what about bears pooping on your head?

I wrote an article for Big Agnes about the time a bear attacked my motorcycle, the bear decided what was in my luggage was what he really needed
