Hello. Just wanted to say how impressed I am with my new HH, but I have a few questions. Today I finally got the chance to hang it. I picked a spot under two sruce trees roughly six to eight feet apart and with about six feet of headroom. As I was tensioning the rope ends I noticed there was not a lot left on either end to move the prussic knots back and forth to tighten the rainfly. I guess this was due to the fact the trees may have not been far enough apart. On either side, the hammock hung at roughly thirty degrees and the ridgeline inside was neither tight nor slack.
I also noticed that the rainfly did not tighten flat, rather it had a droop in the middle. I figure this could have been due to the fact I could not use the prussic knots to tighten it properly. I had to actualy secure it with the mitten clips right to the rope ends where I tied my figure of eighths.
Anywho, I included some photos of the HH after it was hung. There are a couple that show the webbing and rope ends as they were hung from the trees. Hope someone can answer my questions, and hope you guys enjoy the pics.
