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.
As a result, I often don't get the best nights sleep, after getting the ridge between my legs/under my calves/knees, causing either tingling heels, or numb lower legs.
Here's an example...
I've trawled through the forums and have seen bridge hammocks be suggested, but I don't have the room, along with the rest of the gear in my bag, sometimes 4 days worth.
I've also seen people suggest going to an 11ft hammock. The one I use, according to the website is only 8.5ft long so I'm guessing even going to a 10ft may help. Here's my current one: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/hammock-id_8330395.html
Hammocks aren't that easy to pick up here, so I'm a little stuck for choice.
Also space is of high importance, so if it's too big, it wont fit in the bag.
Any thoughts, suggesitons or advice?
Many thanks
