So to each their own. Whatever. If you want to make a hobby out of hanging a hammock between a few trees, you go right ahead.
A simple Google search for "hammocking around me" can return multiple results, and I'm a little flabbergasted at the attention this hobby receives.
But now I guess I'll go ahead and coin a new genre of hammocking I like to call "EXTREME HAMMOCKING," and honestly I'm kinda worried for these people:

YOU'RE HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR.
IN A HAMMOCK.
SURROUNDED BY LIVE ELECTRICITY!
I honestly don't think I could come up with anything dumber.
This story is out of Weber County Utah, by the way.
The Weber County Sheriff's Department was forced to write up this Facebook post in response to these people HAMMOCKING ON ELECTRICITY TOWERS:

I don't think I'm ever going to get over how dumb this is, though.
