Bad news for my hammock.
I was in the midst of configuring a ridgeline in order to find how much sag is most comfortable to me, when suddenly, while I'm sitting in the hammock, it rips in two.
I am trying to figure out what I did wrong. The trees were about 3 meters apart, the webbing about 1.5 meters off the ground, and the hammock suspended at 15 degrees. The hammock itself was somewhat taut, but not so taut that it was near-horizontal.
Am I not supposed to set up a light weight hammock (GTN7) at that angle? Should I have found a shorter/longer tree distance? Whatever the case, its $55 down the drain and now I have to find a new hammock.
