    new to hammock camping, not new to diy

    Hi all, found this place after I decided I wanted to get into backpacking. I had a hammock years ago for naps in the yard. I started researching and found knottys tutorial. I ended up with a 120 ish by 58 hammock. bought everything from diygearsupply for 33 dollars plus shipping. Haven't been in it enough to tweak the ridgeline. Maybe if I ever stop making stuff I'll get out for a night. Need a bug net and tarp and I think I'm good for getting out. Pics of a river hang. Do I have the ridgeline right? I just have it looped over whoopies which are larks headed on the gathered end. I just read about doubling the larks head? So far so good! the extra paranoid is just from making the gather I didn't cut the excess yet.

    It's looking good ! Best way to do it is to jump right in there!
