Dangerbird lay

[mattyg]

yes a double zipper can be added its really three zipper pulls. you can see a tutorial on dream hammocks website, or if you are buying new you can pay them to do it.

I've had folks damage the zipper and tear the netting by laying the wrong way. It's certainly possible with the longer/wider models, but in a narrower hammock there would be greater risk of damage.

Wow I've never had an issue with feet left or right.
That said feet left laying on my left size does feel flatter.
I have not noticed additional strain on the net while laying on my left side with my feet to the right.
I plan to watch out for that.
I happen to have my Darien UL out on the porch, great porch sleeping this time of year, so I too a couple picts.



Feet left the correct side.



Feet right.

Ah, OK, can a double zipper pull be added?
If not you will have to reach all the way to the top to unzip.

Randy says it can, but I have trouble envisioning how it would work.

Not sure what a zipper "slider" is.

This is what a double zipper pull looks like. It allows you have the zipper pulls close to where your hands are when closed and not up at the top of the hammock.



Also think about a vent when you use the DWR cover to prevent condensation.

Ok, so like mattyg says, it's actually 3 zipper pulls.

Mounted on the zipper like so: --<=>---<== , foot end to head end.

Thanks for the links. I see now.

So you would have a 3 zipper pull on the side your head lays and a single on the foot side, for both net and overcover.

What about having the 3 zipper pull on the opposite side your head lays and making your entry/exit on that side? Will that scenario put undue stress on the net or cover when entering and exiting the hammock or just sitting and lounging?

I've been accustomed to laying right to left and entering /exiting on my left. If I have to adapt entering/exiting to the right with a right to left lay with the Dangerbird, I guess I will.
