Why lengthen the ridgeline if you hang it loose? Why not simply lengthen the suspension? That would also result in a loose ridgeline, without running the risk of accidentally overtightening the ridgeline.

It's risky, playing with the length of the ridgeline of an integrated hammock like the Chameleon. It doesn't matter if the net is cut symmetrical or asymmetrical. As long is it's not the same size as the hammock body, there will be stress on the netting and, more problematic, on the zippers when the net is stretched lengthwise (due to a lengthened ridgeline) or widthwise (due to a shortened ridgeline). If the hammock is uncomfortable when the ridgeline is tight, lengthen your suspension without touching the structural ridgeline. If you want consistent results, you could add a shorter ridgeline outside the net.

I concur with all.

Not your post, for sure, but it seems to me that some people get stuff mixed up a little bit... sometimes I do as well.

But lengthening the SRL will result in less sag, not more.

More sag in the ridgeline not the hammock
