So I tried to hang my Dangerbird out in my backyard the other day. I've never had any issue getting it to lay right, ever. I had even hung between these same two points before. So I'm at a loss for what I did? Checking to see if you guys might have some idea?
So details: 6' tree straps. Standard whoopies that came with the hammock from DH. Dangerbird. 10'.
I'm hanging between a tree that is about 22-25 ft. (estimated) from my back porch. Actually tying from the tree to the corner of the porch.
It's a bit wide, so I try to get the straps up as high as I can reach. For whatever reason, this time, when I would lay in the hammock there seemed to be a line of fabric thought he middle of the hammock that had more tension on it than any other part. So much so that I could rest my head on it, and my feet had to be on one side or the other of this raised line of tensioned fabric. I was still able to lay somewhat flat, I just couldn't adjust in any way to where ridge, whatever it was, wasn't annoying me.
It was in fact dark outside. And cold. So I didn't take the time to troubleshoot it all out.
I find that the ridgeline is tight on the Dream regardless of the hang angle, so not able to use that as a guide as much as I've read you can in other hammocks.
It's bugging me because I have in fact hung between these same two points comfortably without this issue whatsoever.
Did I just not hang it high enough for the distance between the two tie-off points? Or did I maybe just tighten it up too much?
Thanks!
