This is my 3rd try at a backyard winter hang. Low was 20F last night. Gear list: ENO DN, nylon webbing w/elephant trunks, unknown ridgleline, BA insulated air-core, and TNF 15F bag. Got out at about 2AM and played around with setup till about 3:15. Slept soundly from about 3:30-8:00AM, but woke up covered in frost with really cold feet. Uncoated down is just not a good idea.
Anyway, I was just wondering about the hang of the hammock. I thought it was a bit tight around the shoulders, and the ridgleline was absurdly tight (~8.5' RL). As I understand it the angle of the straps is really extreme as well. I couldn't quite find my sweet spot like I have previously (in the same spot). How do I hang this properly? I tried the 30 degree angle, but it was really, really tight.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

The pictures are real bad because they came from my phone and the lighting was weird at 8:30 w/o sunlight.
