Heres how I like to hang my hammock:
1) find trees that are four paces apart. 13' is ideal.
2) put the tree huggers on the tree just above head height.
3) hang the hammock real loose, so that the ridgeline and bugnet lay loose, piled up in the hammock.
4) tighten the ends a little bit, one at a time, until the ridgeline rises out of the hammock, bringing the bugnet with it.
5) stop tightening when the ridgeline just becomes tight itself.
