you are correct you get the same angle everytime, but you put more strain on the hammock the tighter you hang it, I usually hang my hammock with a little bit of sag so that the ridgeline isn't like a guitar string

I'm pleased to announce that I have just placed order 798 for an 11' Dream Hammock Roaming Gnome in the 1.8oz night grid camo with an extra zipper!

I'd like to send out a special thank you to everyone for helping me through my order process and obliging my many questions!

Now I just have to wait...I can't wait!!

At only an ounce and a half more than the 1.1, you should be more comfortable and it last longer. There are other places to cut that weight, like a cuben tarp. Congrats on the purchase, you're gonna love it.

I agree Fish. My next project is an ultralight tarp. I'm constantly surprised at how heavy of a tarp most people are using on here...
