    Inside Out & Right Side/Wrong Side

    Please forgive the newbie innocence here:

    I just received my Doublenest today, and am excited to take it out for a test hang, but...

    I'm wondering is there a right side up/down and a wrong side?

    For various reasons it would be easiest for me to hang with the stuff sack on the right. I know I can just turn the hammock to face that direction (or turn myself around), but this got me wondering if there is a right/wrong side. Are the seams, etc. designed to be used one way or the other?

    Looking at the way the gathered ends are set up, it appears that there might be. Is it more comfortable to use the hammock oriented the way they've pre-gathered the ends? Is there an easy way to re-orient things, if need be?


    Thanks.

    -Glenn

    it is all the same. get comfy and it will be fine. I have used mine and noticed that when I got out ,it flipped over. didn't flip it back or anything, was the exact same comfort. I did switch the suspension out to amsteel though. I didn't trust the rope, knot and carabiner it came with.( I am 220 lbs or 100kg)

    Doesn't matter. If you happen to set it up uside down and if you use the stuff sack as a pocket, just reverse it.
    Don't let life get in the way of living.

    Awesome.

    Thanks.

    BTW - DeRozea, I'm too am switching the biners for climbing grade. Big thanks to whoever (on this forum) suggested upgrading the "new" ENO biners for something stronger. The ENOs look pretty and are ridiculously light. They may well be fine, but I just don't trust them for weight bearing. I'll use them for my food bag, and pack hanging.

    Thanks again to you and Bubba.
