What if your insertion point was right down near the hammock and you tied something to the trailing end of the insert? Do you think it would act as it's own drip line?
Seems to me like it would.
Just thinking.

It has worked for me a couple of weekends ago. The tail on my whoopie sling was about 4 feet long. I made a couple of 4 inch loops along the suspension with it to catch any water that might find its way past the first drip line. Something like this:
Hammock------u-----u-----u----WStail/dripline----Tree
where the "u"s are part of the WS tail.

I wrap the "tail" of the W/S around the main line about 4 turns. So far this has (seemingly?) kept the water out of my hammock during 2 Pretty big T-Storms. One lasted for at least 9 hrs & raised nearby streams as much as 2 feet.
When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.
