Rollintent, in that scenario of tightening the foot end alone to raise it would probably make it too tight and uncomfortable. I like to have a decent amount of sag, which can be estimated by the tension of the ridgeline. But I now use a hammock without a ridgeline, so I'm really eyeballing it. Luckily, never any problems. In fact, after ditching the ridgeline I sleep more comfortably and have no calf ridge pressure. But that could be due to the different hammock material. Or because I'm not worried about getting it "just right". Maybe we over-analyze things.
Lots going on with such a simple thing like a hammock!!
