During a weekend in the woods, sleeping in my hammock, I was surprised (for want of a better word) to wake in the night a find a sizable slug slithering its way across my arm! Yuk! My friend had a similar experienced in his hammock.
So what to do to prevent these "commando" slugs from climbing the trees and crawling (do slugs crawl?) across the hammock ropes to get to you?
Here are some things I'd like to try...
1. Put vaseline on the hammock ropes (A bit messy I think)
2. Put a birch bark disc/plate on the hammock ropes and cover that with vaseline (wont mess up the ropes)
3. Put salt on the ropes..?! (hmm)
If you know of a proven method (other than sleeping in a tent) please let me know.
