    is it comfortable? usual recommendation is the foot end a little higher to keep you from sliding down to the center, but if your comfortable with the getting in and out and you like the lay of it..then its all good
    It's not the boulders that throw us off balance, it's the pebbles beneath our feet

    Hey Mainewoods; Its a little hard for me to see what's happening on the right side. It kind of looks like your not centered between the trees, a bit too far to the left. It might be fine tho. Hard to say without getting in the hammock. Generally i work with placing the tree straps above my head for trees about 15' apart, higher if farther apart. Get it centered between the tree's and if there's a RL have it so i can twist the RL vertically with a thumb and index finger. Also have the foot end about 6" higher. But above all if i get in the hammock and it feels flat and comfortable ,,i'm good. I like to set it so when i sit in it my feet are on the ground. Hope that help's and it was what you were looking for.
