Any tips to keep track of head end vs. foot
Let's say I'm setting up the hammock looking out over this sweet view, like a lake.
It seems like whenever I pull out the hammock (WBBB in this case) from its double-ended stuff sack and start putting the webbing (or whatever) around the trees, I then find I've hung it the wrong direction & I'm looking at the woods instead of the lake. Then I think to myself - why didn't you look at the bug netting when you set it up, dummy.
Any tips on how to make this more idiot proof so I hang the hammock in the direction of the view?
Different color is a good idea

I personally like the idea of color coding the two ends. Whether it is with a stopper bead, different color ropes, or anything else you can add to easily identify which end you have by just looking at the color.
And if you are using a one ended stuff sack, all you have to do is always put the hammock away in the same manner, so that one end (whether head or foot) is always at the open end.
