Never used one. The only thing that immediately stands out about the design is that most hammock tarps are rectangular. You might need to hunt for one with appropriate coverage. Additionally you'll have to be careful about how the tarp is actually suspended since if you're using the same trees as your suspension you can't run the tarp down to a stake right by the tent. Not sure how much space you'll need (footprint is def larger than a normal hammock) to make that work, although depending on how much clearance you need you might be able to do it with trekking poles.

Your instincts are correct, and there are tarps specific to them.
Internal pole mods is probably the way to go with these

I dunno man, doesn't seem like it's worth it on longer trips.
And you can sit/sleep comfortably in a normal hammock as well if it's long enough for you.

Doesn’t sound too normal, considering a netless 11’ hammock in a 1.0oz fabric is 225, and an 11x9 poly tarp is 340. Let’s see it.

Whoops, my bad - for some reason tarp wasn't included in my spreadsheet. With it, it comes up to 0.92kg.

But still, if you include tarp in your Amok setup it's clear that normal hammock setup is lighter. My point (Amok is heavier, but not more useful) still stands.

Hammock OP posted is really expensive when compared to DIY ultralight hammocks.

It’s not a bad idea. It keeps you up to date on what’s most ideal for your situation. For instance if spreadsheet Anon needs a new tarp, he can consult his handy dandy database to easily compare the specs on what’s available rather than jumping from website to website. If there’s something new that’s just been released he can add it to the list. It’s like a gear list of everything you could realistically buy rather than what you already have.

if you hang your hammock properly and lay in it diagonally then you won't be banana-shaped.
is this product exclusively for people who are too retarded to figure that out?

I have come to notice that trying to convince people of this is absolutely futile. They either forget you ever said it or just straight up don't belive you.

I don't think a structual ridgeline changes all that much. You still gotta hang the hammock from a correct angle and even the ridgeline needs to have some slack to it, like it can't be a piano string.
Or do you hang your hammock so that you could as well play a banjo solo with your ridgeline?

Depending on the material, it is possible to run an almost taunt ridgeline and basically hang the hammock freely. But your right, for normal set-ups you use the ridgeline between the hammock ends as more of a guide for the correct angle and tension.

So if you scoot too far toward the head/feet in the lay-down position, do you just flip out of the hammock? It looks supremely retarded, and without looking it up I am sure you overpayed. I bought a double wide hammock on Amazon with a mosquito net built in for like $40 and it works great and is very spacious, comfy, and still light (nylon). I use it regularly for backpacking in the NE.

You’ve never laid in your hammock perpendicular to it’s ridge line?
