>>806725>putting a tent or hammock anywhere near a waterwayWhere I live, when it rains, flooding starts. The streams and rivers rise about 4-6 feet depending on how much rain there is. The local river will cover the landscape from hillside to hillside (pic related, that row of trees is the normal place where the river is when not flooding the water here is about 15 feet deep near the trees and 4 feet deep where the camera is). Gullies will become churning torrents. Small streams swell and spill out 100s of feet into the surrounding woods.
Yet, people still build homes in the flood zones and the local park even has an entire camp ground in a river flood zone. The latter of which gets flooded about 15 times a year and there's been over a dozen deaths there because people keep using the camp ground for their tents and sleeping overnight.
