Here's a little info on dialing in a good 30 degree hang angle.

Thanks for looking.

I give it 5 *****! Quick but very applicable video. Great refresher Course for dialing in a good hang angle.

I always rely on the figer thumb method. But somehow my ridge line is always too tight. I just live with it that way though.

Hmmm... are you saying your thumbs are too short?

Basic Hammocking 101 , Thanks for thr refresher Papa Smurf , the thumb and finger method is how i learned to dial my set up in at first, now i am pretty good at just eyeballing it but it took some time.
Gave my wife one of Tato's Hangles but she still has me check hers anyway, i dont mind as long as she is happy to go hanging then i'm happy.

Either that or freakishly long index fingers.

i usually eyeball it in, or use the ridge line tension as a guide, but there's plenty of free smartphone apps available - search for clinometer and spend hours getting it dialled in to 30.0 degs!
