A big thank you to you and your sister for coming up with this. I get a better rest in a hammock than I could get in any bed and that is Truly divine.

Perhaps this explains the deep satisfaction I felt the first time I tried a gathered end hammock.

Pursuing this angle of hanging is what this group, of which my husband is a member, would do http://triplenine.org/WhatisTNS.aspx

That is excellent. Now I have to go listen to Tool's Lateralus.

Now my latest hammock build has been setback due to redesigning it according to the golden ratio.

Are you using the Golden Ratio to set the proportion for the width of the hammock body relative to its length?

This is the direction we are going, but I may tweak it some before sewing. The pullouts are for an integrated bugnet.

...and that's when hammocks became a religion.

That's pretty impressive. The numbers look pretty normal. Can't wait to see how it comes out!

...I have to say. My degree is in Space sciences. I understand orbital mechanics calculations. Some of your math made my eyes water for a moment.
