    Default Urban guerilla/stealth hanging tips needed.

    Later this month, I am going to Florida to visit a friend. Im flying in and out of Orlando and renting a car to West Palm Beach. He's only off Sat and Sun and I'm taking Mon-Wed off as well... I thought I would schlep around the swamp for a day, drive to Orlando and see Universal Studios and have a nice dinner at Margaritaville.

    By Universal, there is a place called Cane Lake that is supposedly inhabited by some kind of a slug monster called Slimebo. I thought it might be fun to find a patch of woods to set up in around there and look for Slimebo.

    Other than late in/early out, don't be seen, & stay away from bum towns, does anyone have any tips for hanging in an urban stealth environment?

    Aim high. Impress us all. Infiltrate Disney World and stealth inside the grounds for a few days. You could write a book about it afterwards.

    A dirty white tarp, pitched in a tight A-frame configuration would look surprisingly like one of those portable concrete road construction barriers...spread some trash around and you should be invisible :-)

    I downloaded Google Earth. There is an island in the lake near Disney World. I'd be willing to bet that there is great stealth hammocking on the island.

    don't use reflective cord, hang tarp and hammock low, no bright colors, no white light at night, and not near any foot paths... however, busy roads are ok, as no one looks sideways while driving... and as long as there aren't any sidewalks, you won't have to worry about people walking by either. i'm thinking a wooded vacant lot, if there is such a thing left in orlando anymore...

    It is a pretty appalling mental picture isn't it?

    Hairy-legged Tinkerbell in a camouflage hammock . Disney World might not care in the least....If he had a ticket.

    Haaahahaha! Now THAT was funni. If that doesn't work you could sprinkle them with a little fairy dust. I hear it is abundant in the area.

    I think the pack could be disguised with a couple of little wings duct taped onto it? And a star taped to the end of the Leki pole!

    I wonder if anyone has ever hiked the trail in a Tutu?

    I'll pitch a couple in. I think I would almost go down there to see someone sleeping in a hammock in a fairy costume.

    If not a fairy, try one of the chipmonks. They live in trees, right?

    Forget the Hammock, find the nearest Walmart. http://news.bostonherald.com/offBeat...132734&format=
