I saw a post on BPL about someone selling a Hammock Tent Gamma UL. I was confused because I've never heard this company. I checked out the website and surprisingly they sell hammocks that are similar to the Amok Draumr. You lay perpendicularly against the suspension. Their other products are pretty unique too. They have a daisy chain suspension, but not in the usual 1" flat webbing. Instead, they use a polypropylene line (imagine an 8mm rope with holes in the middle every 9 cm). Their tarp is similar to Hammock Gear's Standard Tarp with doors, but again turned perpendicularly, so it sticks to the left and right of the suspesnion more and the doors are more vertical. Apparently ZPacks makes it for them.
This got me wondering why we do not see as many perpendicular hammocks out there? They look comfortable. Is it a hassle to build? Or maybe there are urability concerns?
