I was on this forum a bunch of years ago, but then went through a period when I didn't have time to hike. Things are freer now so I can get back into it.

Of course that means all new equipment . I'm thinking of making a hennesy clone and have a couple of questions. From what I see on the forum, it looks like the fabric is cut the same as a Speer type with the side tie outs. How tight are the tie outs? When I did a little experiment they got really tight when I was getting into the hammock, and then got loose when I lay down.

Also, it didn't seem any different than when I simply lay on an angle without the tie outs.

What am I missing?

PS. Spending a night in my old speer type was heaven.
