    Ghost Hammock?

    What's the purpose of the triangle in the ghost hammock? The more I think about it, the less it makes sense. I theory it's supposed to create a flatter lay by lowering the part at your foot. But doesn't the weight of your feet already do that?

    isnt it to give your feet a place to go since the ghost is narrow?

    Yeah, but in a normal hammock, the weight of your feet do that on their own, with the additional flexibility of not having a fixed foot spot. Am I missing something here?

    the creator of the ghost hammock explain his reasons for the foot box in this vid. I have been wanting to make one myself.
