Help w/ridgeline length, cordage type

[iRokk]

It is more work, but I made an adjustable RL to tinker with, then I make a dogbone style to save weight once I find the perfect length.

To get my length for my SRL I used an adjustable cargo strap (the ratcheting kind) in the middle and adjusted it until I as happy with the hang, then just used that measurement to make my SRL.

As a recent acquirer of the Woot yukon (and hours upon hours of reading HF) I went with an adjustable RL from Dutchgear (and whoopies, amsteel loops, tree straps and dutch clips). Sure I have more invested with Dutch than the hammock itself but I didn't like the rope it came with. First impressions- I'm very happy with the Yukon. With the new suspension on my first try I had it up in less than ten minutes and napping in less than 20. I found I could get a great lay using the 83% (114") but I intend to adjust is a little each way and see if I notice a better lay.

Results are what count. Sounds like you got great results

Dang, why didnt I think of that?! Shouldve seen me the other day trying to adjust my ridgeline while in the hammock. Impossible.
