I'm new to hammocking. I'm 49 years old and have camped my whole life. I used to be able to sleep relatively comfortable on the ground. Now i just cannot get comfortable. I've read that hammocks are very comfortable and in fact possibly more comfortable that your own bed.
So i have a few questions to get started.
Hammock Ridgeline:
I'm confused whether i need a ridgeline or not. Does having a ridgeline elimanate the need to worry about the 30 degree angle setup? So does it give the the proper sag without worrying about the height of lines, distance trees apart?
Tarp Ridgeline:
I have Amsteel to use as my ridgeline for my tarp. I was going to run the line through the middle tie out on my tarp, then use prussik knots to stretch out and attach the ends of the tarp onto the ridgeline. However, i've read, prussik knots don't work well on Amsteel? What other knots would be suitable? Instructions/Videos showing setup?
