    I think most start at 108". But you need to find what works for you. Your ridgeline length may be different from others. You need to try and adjust until you find what works, may be shorted or longer.

    83% of hammock length seems to be avg. rule of thumb. Try 100" then +/- for your taste.
    My knife is so sharp it cut the sixth finger off my right hand! On the plus side, Inigo Montoya no longer hunts me.
