    What are you hanging from, and where is the other end anchored?? That's a long distance to stretch your suspension, given the forces involved. Is the main suspension piece a cable?

    I didn't notice the hammock on my first look! Looks great, I hung on a huge and long setup like that using 6mm vectran and it still noticeably stretched.

    Yes, very curious to know what the suspension was also. Very cool picture!

    Between anchor points, it's about 20 meters and I've used spectra rope, 4.5mm

    You beat me! I only went to about 12-15 meters. I don't know why but hanging above a largely empty area is really satisfying

    Actually, I'm the first hammock camper in korea south and still just few, less than 5 people using hammock at winter. That is why... as we experienced, ideal site is different and changing whether it is tent or hammock. That's what i've been facing problem during last 7 yrs..
