I’m on a section hike of the AT, and currently losing good sleep to pain in the center of my back every night. I’m in a Hennessy Ultralite Explorer on whoopies. I thought I was pretty hammock savvy, been using them for years. But this is what killing me, and I can’t figure out my error. I approximate 30deg for the straps best as I can, pull the whoopies tight till the ridgeline is taut, and lay at an angle. I know the long days are not helping, but the hammock is making it so much worse. I’ll try to take photos today and add to the thread after I set up. Could I be pulling things too tight? I always thought the structural ridgeline meant that couldn’t really happen.
