I am currently thru-hiking the AT with my Hennessy hammock. Every once in a while I do a short day and find myself in a campsite early on a lovely afternoon. When this happens I like to loll around either sitting on or lying on my hammock. There's nothing better than gently swaying in your hammock on a warm afternoon while a gentle breeze caresses your brow. But..., but the ridgeline means that I can't lay in my hammock the way I would a normal backyard hammock, which would be perfect for afternoon lounging. So my question:
Is it possible to cut the ridgeline, and insert a mini-biner to reattach it? Just how much tension is on the ridgeline anyway? And if it is possibel to do that, how do I go about making sure I maintain the proper length for the ridgeline?
Questions, questions, questions...
