I bought a WB Eldorado and Thunderfly plus a Hammock Gear Econ Burrow underquilt with the intention of trying out hammocking with my scouts this year. Well, that of course went down the terlit.
We are still scheduled to go to Northern Tier this summer and I'd like to take this setup. If all else fails, the other adult will be in a 2 person tent.
I've done some day hikes and set things up. I'm mostly getting things down, but it seems like no matter what I do, the hammock ridgeline is very tight.
Today, I strapped it as high as I could reach (I'm 6'3") and loosening it to the point that the underquilt practically touched the ground still resulted in a very tight ridgeline.
From the many Shug and other videos I've watched, I should be able to twist the ridgeline with my fingers to just about vertical, right? Any suggestions?
