    inner shoulder ridge.

    So does everyone have issues with their inner shoulder being raised up a bit more than the latter shoulder by the center ridge?

    If not what solves it? Wider hammock allowing to get more diagonal? If I go any further diagonal I'll be on the netting.

    inner shoulder ridge.

    What's the hammy in question? And how tall are you?

    Do you have this problem with all those stated hammocks? I don't think I have enough experience to really answer your problem, but here is a bump for someone who does.

    Yep all of them. Inner shoulder is higher than outer. Essentially my shoulders are at a slant. Not much but enough I notice it consistently regardless of lay and hang.

    Could just be me being ultrasenditive

    I just got out of my hammock and I see what you mean. I feel the center line on my inner shoulder. But it doesn't really bother me normally, I hadn't even noticed

    On my Eno's, I felt a "spine" in the fabric, where there seemed to be more tension down the middle of the hammock. I removed the the big black rope and huge knot from the gathers on the ends and replaced with a section of dynema looped on both ends(Dog Bones). Clipped my carabiner through the loops and now the spines are gone.

    I whip my hammocks warbonnet style so it makes for a nice flat lay.

    If your ridgeline is floppy, that's a clue - it's possible that you're supports (trees, posts, etc...) are too close. That would result in an awkward hang, making it much more difficult to make a flat lie.

    Eh I'll have to get more tree time I guess.. I'm going to have to just go fiddle for a couple of hours instead of worrying about making miles and fires and such
