If your hammock is instable, i.e. "throws you out", what could be the problem?
I had to get a temporary hammock since my Blackbird didn't make it New Zealand. The only hammock I could find was a Ticket to the Moon single. When I put it up straight out of the box, so to speak, I already noticed that the sides seemed to be kind of floppy. As a result I kept wandering over the edge slowly, when lying in it for longer time. I thought that this might be due to the way the ends are connected to the suspension: the cord is threaded through the end of the hammock fabric. So I tried to gather the ends, as described by Knotty. But this seems to have increased the problem. The moment I get in the hammock, it tips. I can still stay in it, but I definitely wouldn't sleep in it.
What did I do wrong? Is this a problem of the cut?
I would love a comparable security as in the Blackbird. When I get in, it kind of cradles me. I never worried that I could fall out.
