    how to sit like shug?

    in shug's videos you often see him sitting in his hammock having breakfast. my question is how does he do this.

    my guess is he has an adjustable ridgline on the hammock with a lot of sag in it.

    i have a WBBB without an adjustable ridgeline and i cant sit up at all. and if i do scoot up hight on the head end i slide right back down.

    Funny, I've wondered this exact same thing... always just figured he had a rubber neck or something. I know I can't do it - I've tried.

    I just always figured it was some sort of circus magic. I find the only way I can sit far enough up in my hammock to drink is to sit with my legs crossed and sit inline, instead of at an angle. This seems to keep me from sliding down quite so much.

    As high as it takes...I adjust it when I get up to grab my food from the tree.
    6-8 inches. Sometimes more. You will know. I'm not very scientific about it.

    I guess that this means that comfort is the mother of invention?

    one more question on this. would you have to raise the tree strap higher on the tree or just tighten the foot end whoopie?
