Next time you are setting up your hammock, with an eye towards optimized comfort, give it the finger!
Here is a way to quickly estimate the 30 degree suspension angle for hanging your hammock.

Step 1: Extend your right index finger vertically.
Step 2: Extend your left index finger horizontally.
Step 3: Place your left finger against your right finger so that the top of the left finger is even with second crease of the right index finger.
Step 4: The line between the end of the right finger and the third crease of the left finger will be a close approximation of a 30 degree angle.
Step 5: Adjust your suspension as needed to match this angle.
Step 6: Switch hands (or sides) to adjust the opposite suspension.
