I keep playing around with an idea to try on the foot end of a hammock. It's probably already been done, and if it hasn't I'm not sure it's even beneficial.
My idea is to create a channel on the foot end wide enough to run some 3/4" - 1" non stretch webbing through. This webbing would be sewn to the hammock body near the exit points of the channel for a few inches to keep the webbing from sliding in the channel. In between the 2 points that this webbing is secured to the hammock body would be a length of webbing about 4"-6" that the rest of the hammock end would gather on. The webbing would have loops so you could attach your suspension to.
My idea is that when suspended the 2 outside channel ends would meet in the middle, but the middle section would sag down, and hopefully eliminate any calf ridge.
Worth pursuing? Already done ? Any perceived benefit at all ?
