Yep...it wouldn't be that hard to calculate the "new" ridgeline length (ca. 83% of the hammock plus chain links to rings). My reaction at the moment is that I'm not sure of the advantage of this, though I may rig my Traveler this way to see what happens...and what differences it would make. Headchange4U has already done pretty much the same thing in his single line suspension thread, though that thread "wandered" at least as much as this one.
