    Id say try hanging differently before giving up.

    Yeah, the lamp thats hanging from my cord in the first pic is a carbide lamp.
    I leave that on low flame overnight.
    Leaving a candle burning too is another option.

    Well, what a transformation.
    A good ridgeline has made my new hammock almost perfect.
    As usual, I dont have the height to get much of a droop, but even as pictured, its made the world of...

    It totally sorted the issue with my feet, but now, it seems to squeeze my shoulders together.
    Admittedly, I couldnt play with the amount...

    How are hammocks measured?

    If a hammock is taught, is it the measurement of the tight, top section, or the material drooping under. If that makes sense.

    Infact under 5% were.

    Make sure you have an hour or so spare and google 'Paris Catacombs' :D

    Its quite well travelled, some areas more than others.
    But Ive never had any problems with my kit. Ive not met anyone with ill intentions yet.
  15. My latest underground hang. Pics of anchors included :D

    So, after the interest of my underground hangs, I thought Id put a post up of my latest.
    We spent 3 nights, inc NYE under Paris.

    So to start, here is a few pics of the hammocks in situ.

  16. Ridgeline- still work when foot end is higher?

    Having read a few threads about numb heels, Ive seen the general solution is to raise the foot end 8-10".
    Does this still work with a ridgeline?

    Ive got 3 weekends in a row underground so am...

    The key is to keep a candle, or carbide lamp going all night. It's really disorientating, and some people even get a bit freaked out, if you wake up in total darkness.

    Advice for when you have no choice in gap...

    I mostly use the hammock underground in caves/catacombes etc. And have to use pittons. In this case, I often dont get a choice as the pillar/rock material dictates where the pittons can go.

    Underground hammock-er here!

    Howdy all, noobie here from the UK.
    Most of my hammocking is done underground when I go caving etc, but nothing beats swinging in the woods too!

    I look forward to getting involved :)
