I tried a ridgeline with an amsteel whoopee sling I made on my ENO DN a few months ago, but it twanged and felt extremely tight. So I shelved it for the time being because I just wasn't sure if I did it right. Lately I have been thinking about it because I want to reattach it for the ENO bug net I just received.
I'm not very good at physics but my assumption was that the farther apart the trees are the more weight gets transferred across the ridgeline. The only other way to alleviate the weight distribution would be to put the tree straps farther up on the tree. But when you are vertically challenged like me (5'7") there's only so high one can reach.
Since I'm thinking that the length of the ridge line should always be x inches to achieve 30°, should I be concerned about the weight distribution across the ridgeline or is there something that I haven't discovered on the forum that might help my setup?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
