I sleep just fine on either side I have a friend that has a clark and the only way he sleep on his side is by taking a ratchet strap and ratching it around two trees that way he can get it pulled tight I have told him a number of times that it can't be good on the hammock with it pulled that tight.

I noticed that you are in Salt Lake how hard would it be to go to the Clark facility and take your hammock with you and have Spence or Gary give you a hand trying to make you comfortable? I would be willing to bet a dollar to a doughnut that they would be glad to help.

I use a Hitchcraft ropetie on my Clark, and it works great! Fastest, easiest way to rig a Clark without changing out the suspension.
When it is setup with it's fly in shady corner of the woods it's real nice. I have had times where I had trouble spotting it coming back to camp if I didn't pay close attention to the location. The only bad thing is it's hard to find any alternate tarps in camo and it seems goofy sometimes to have this nice camo hammock and then a tarp that's a green/blue/gray screen that seems to scream "Hey, come on over and bug me about what this is".
I just ordered a MacCat deluxe because It seems about perfect size and layout for my solo trips with a good helping of rain expected but I hate that I have to setup what looks like a movie screen in the woods to use it. The JRB is just overkill and heavy unless I have my pup along or another person to setup some common space for.

Now where is that 720p projector run with a couple of squirrels in wheels???
I was thinking of a ridgeline system with 4 SMC rings, and webbing, a setup by a member who also posts in a Clark forum.
But that Hitchcraft ropetie that FishinFinn shows looks pretty interesting.
Cavediver2 is correct, in that I have had the old man himself, at the Clark storefront, on his hands and knees with me showing different ways to fold up the hammock. But he is too busy, or was the two times I stopped by, to have me set up the hammock, and work on getting the sweet spot. At least, that was my impression. A very nice fellow, though!

Cavediver2,
I watched your videos on YouTube tonight. I liked the second one, it seemed clearer. Will try some of your suggestions.
I ordered the Hitchcraft Monster, but still wondering why I need 30' of slip strap? That was another member's suggestion on building a ridgeline.
Off topic, I went and test rode a Giant Trance 2 FS mountain bike. Nice, but I don't think the price drop for an '08 bike, $1100 to $800 is that much. I will test ride a GT Force tomorrow. It may be the weather, or the economy, but the 4 bike shops I have been in the past week have been deserted.

Thanks for the feedback on that, RAW.
I think I fouled that order up. Oh well, lots of webbing.
