I have 5 hammocks, some use rope, most use straps and rings as well as a ridge line,
I have been able to tune them in most of the time 1st hang, however there is one hammock that just won't tune in to sit up place your feet on the ground stand up and exit.
With the fowling adjustments... This one sleeps sooo goood.
1. Loose Straps, Loose Ridge line
Hangs to low and have to climb (pulling the sides) to sit up and get up.
2. Tight straps 30 deg pitch, taught ridge line, It sleeps like on air, have to climb out after sitting up.
Note when setting on the edge of the hammock 90 deg leg setting all is OK till I'm parked inside the sides.
3. All set tight, getting on and off is OK, to sleep, well ... it has a lot to be desired knowing how this one can sleep.
I am sleeping in this one in the (House Camping) Living room, I just get more exercise getting up then I want.
Any Ideas, All help is welcome, Here is what I have set up.
