    Anyone else one sided?

    Whenever I lay in my hammock, I ALWAYS lay diagonally with my head to the left of the ridgeline and my feet to the right of the ridgeline. I feel awkward trying to lay on the other side.

    Am I the only one?

    By the way, I am right handed.

    Funny...I'm just the opposite. Just got a new 'bird, so I'm gonna have to change my ways.

    Sometimes I put the hammock sock opening on the right, and sometimes I put it on the left. I usually put my head on the same side as the opening.

    I go either way... probably comes from growing up in a college town.

    I am also a head to the right feet to the left kind of guy. I also like to switch it up from time to time if the mood takes me. I like that my hammock can make me happy either way..

    Head to the left, feet to the right... though I have switched it up from time to time. I think it sort of depends on which side of my hammock has the best "view". Must be a mental thing!

    Which bird did you get Dave?

    Oh ... and maybe it's all the weird places I've ended up sleeping over the last 56 years ... tend to head left and feet right but I lay both ways ... probably 60/40 head left

    Head right, feet left, about 90% of the time. Doing it L to R hurts my right ankle, but going R to L doesn't hurt the left ankle, go figure.
    When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.
