Help with ridgeline

[matmore74]

Its easy each time you setup in a different place it have to adjust to it but you still want that perfict lay out. So, two ways 1 use the right knot that will stay or tighten. the 2nd is to set it for the right drip or lay and find the right place to put you hammock.
For me its the adjustment and the right space both and I have a portible end I even have two portables and use them at the driven. That one you will have to figure out or email me and I will tell you how to do the same.

Look up the Hammock Hang Calculator by dejoha. It will explain a lot. Derek is da man. Buy his book!

The closer the trees are together, the lower you put your suspension on the tree relative to your hammock height and vice versa. Try for the 30 degree angle on your suspension to minimize stresses on the materials.

Per dejoha, for a simple test for the 30*angle, form an 'L' with your thumb and index finger with the index finger parallel to the ground.(Palm facing towards you) If your suspension line is parallel to an imaginary line running between the two finger tips, you have a good hang angle. Make sense? He does a much better job illustrating this than me.

I just did this. Metric system be damned, I love having quantified values at my fingertips, literally
