I have a symmetric bugnet, so either way feels about the same to me. I’m pretty heavily biased sleeping head left though, so will likely try an asym bugnet on my next hammock.

Good point - I’ll...

Currently I’m using Dutchware straps and beetle buckles. I’ve been curious about trying some Whoopie slings, but the beetle buckles are so convenient that it hasn’t been something I’ve prioritized....

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. Encouraging to hear that we’re similar builds and looks like you also have a Chameleon. Is that the only hammock you’ve owned? Or have you settled on that as...

Lol! I think I’m subconsciously starting to do the same thing with gear for my partner. “Hey I got you this new [blank]… hey wanna switch halfway through the trip?”

Ever try sleeping with earbuds and listening to a podcast or relaxing album?

I generally do this with the foot end being higher, but I’ll have to give the reverse a shot as well!

I could definitely see getting forced into one lay direction or the other and being okay with it - I’ve fallen asleep laying either way. About 95% of the time I’m head left though, so no reason to...

I actually recently contacted Dream Hammock, and they recommended a 64” wide hammock for me as well, although an 11 ft. How do you like that fabric? I’m torn between the 1.7 MTN and the 1.6 HyperD....

I was under the impression that since the Chameleon bugnet was designed to work with the fixed length ridgeline provided, that it would be wise to remove the bugnet before making changes to ridgeline...

This is genuinely kind of poetic.

Definitely helpful in the mindset shift. I’ve gone through this sort of thing with leather boots, and the process with hammocks is beginning to feel similar.

Looking forward to the day I can have multiples of the same hammock in many different fabrics! Sounds like a dream.

First I’ve heard of the foam pad trick to add stiffness. I think I would find it difficult to separate the sensation of the new texture and the increased firmness, but I’ll give this one a shot as...

I, too, can often get away with no pillow. Sometimes my little hammock gear down pillow can really prevent a sore neck though and help make things feel a bit more flat.

I really like that idea of...

Could very well be. I went for the 1.0 on my first hammock just based off of it being the most flexible and trying to get that floating/pressure-less hammock experience so many people talk about. I’m...

All the Warbonnet stuff is definitely on my list to try. I’ve got my eye on the 2023 SoCal hang - In the meantime I’ve still got 6 months to learn from all of you virtually. :)

I really want to try a bridge hammock eventually, and I’m sure I’ll own a couple at some point. I think for now I’m forcing myself to work out my gathered-end hammock issues, as I really like the...

I haven’t tried using any pillows for my knees/legs yet, as I don’t experience any pain there, but that could maybe help push me to some more comfortable positions.

I’ve fiddled a lot with raising the foot end higher to various degrees, but I haven’t tried raising the head end yet. Always seemed a bit taboo, but it’s certainly something I’ll have to try. Thanks!

I’ve been thinking about getting an adjustable ridgeline to fiddle with for this reason. Wouldn’t removing the bugnet add yet another variable though? I feel that the bugnet/zipper is contributing to...

I should add that I am 5’8, 150 lbs. Fairly slim with wide shoulders.

So I’ve had an 11ft Chameleon in Hexon 1.0 for about 4-5 months, and I’ve set it up about 20x. I’m not entirely happy with how comfortable I can get in it - Currently I prefer sleeping on the ground...

Thanks for posting this! I’ve been thinking about picking up a Trekking Tree for a while, and your video was the catalyst to get me to finally pull the trigger.

Hey y’all, new member here from Southern California.

Just got into hammocking a few months ago - My partner and I were on a car camping road trip through CO and thought it would’ve been nice to...
