no more s/s headaches

...the appearance of the SS never crossed my mind.

It's an affliction of sailors... always looking at the lines of things.

Never looking at ladies that way, mind you, only vessels, rigging and the like.

I'm with you Mac. As a sailor getting things rigged all proper is important and part of that is clean lines.

Even after cutting the bungee in the SS entry, there is still another that runs along the perimeter of the whole SS, helping to keep the SS tight to the hammock. You wouldn't want to get rid of that one.

Knotty is right-the entry bungee has nothing to do with the perimeter bungee,they are separate.appearance is important to me and i could not be happier-the s/s looks like a perfect hammock now as it totally hides the Explorer inside without that bungled up bottom entry.downside--not a biggie but the s/s is actually a couple inches above the zipper and so you have to look for it-no big deal--that could also be due to my ridgeline repair which shortened the ridge a few inches--i slept in it last night and i think the shorter ridge actually makes it better for me to lay in-it may all be in my head but i think it takes the tightness from the old b/entry that always bothered my left knee

Gotcha, understand!

Well of course not! Who would?

Could well be. I had a similar experience, though if I shortened the RL when I cut it, it was not intentional. Anyway, I thought it got a tad more comfy.

I believe shortening the ridgeline can cure the "cut-across-the-left-calf" syndrome. Wrote about discovering it here last March.
