OK. I have issues. Lots really but only the hammock ones pertain here.
i have started an indoor hang experience if you will. This started with the ‘hammock 102’ post that talks about spending 2wks straight in a hammock before venturing out. I did not do this. Though I did spend one night in the yard before backpacking and was like “good enough” and went. I also did a ton of reading and was already on the UQ bandwagon. But I think there could be a lot of value in dialing in your hang. Inside. And taking your time to get it right.
So as I am too cheap to buy the Dutch indoor rail (which looks awesome but not intending to be a permanent indoor hanger) I went with an eye bolts in a board solution. With a daisy chain on the foot side. i am guessing there are two variables of importance on comfort. Ridgeline tension and angle (head/foot height difference). If I am wrong please correct me and I will adjust my ‘experiment’.
With that, I have seen videos on adding wraps on a carbiner for ridgeline tension. Is that an additional tool/variable? How tight it too tight for a ridgeline?
But yeah. Starting a dedicated, indoor hang tuning. My Partner is using a Hennessy Asym and I am using a WBBB.
