Hey all,
Hung for the first time for a few hours tonight! Never been more excited in my life! (ok it was close).
Two questions:
1.) I've read the basis/starting point for SRL length is 83% of hammock length. I've got a GT Double, 10 ft long. If my math is correct that puts me at a 105" ridgeline (counting biners and loops in ends), but I haven't tested it at this length. I've got it set to this length now, but without even getting in it looks awfully bowed... I had it at 117" before and it felt pretty comfortable. Am i doing something wrong?
2.) I've read about this magical 30 degree hang angle from the tree and your suspension. I've looked at the pictorials and descriptions, but still can't figure out if the angle is with an empty or loaded hammock.
Help?
