if i would try, i would keep an adjustable ridgeline (like a ucr), separate from the whole "continuous suspension", to serve as a "sag yardstick", so that when i move the hammock i don't have to find the previous sag again, as it will be set when the "yardstick ridgeline" is taut, this would make experimenting with moving the hammock much faster
