i've been looking for a gear hammock that fits under the hammock itself. but where i'm confused is everything i'm seeing is that your hammock shouldn't be no more than 18" off the ground. if that's so that doesn't give any room for your gear. so is the 18" just a suggestion for safety and how high could i go before it's bad for the hammock. the daughter and i are planning a thru hike later on and i'm just trying to get as much info as i can but hammock camping and what not. i'm new to this and i'll be thankful for all the info i can get. thanks guys. i may have posted this in the wrong place but oh well. again tks
