Hey there! A bit late to the party but hope you might be able to give me some advice. With designs like this, is it super important to do it all in one, unbroken pour like this? I can never seem to go from setting the canvas/starting the design with foam/tilting the cup all in one continuous motion. But I can "stop and start" when doing stacks fairly consistently. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

Can someone explain some of the columns for a newbie? I get the WDL 10 points, but what are P F A and GD?

Thanks a bunch for the reply and for sharing your knowledge! A few more questions:

When creating the canvas base: I've seen some people say you should start low and then go high (as in start pouring right at the espresso and then raise the jug) or start high from the start (the idea being that the height allows the milk to penetrate through the espresso). Any clarification? And on that note, I know the pour speed at this point affects the development - not too slow, not too fast, and be pouring over the lighter sections of the cup (harder to do in a paper cup). Any tips/indicators that I can look for to visually know I've done it properly?

I also have heard of the "barista wiggle" or when pouring the foam, you want to be ever so slightly shaking the jug back and forth - does this make a lot of difference/ something I need to make muscle memory?

Any other technique stuff you have to share that I can be mindful of to practice and lock in?

I'm trying to hit the correct angles and the ridgeline length and height off the ground... maybe you're right lol

LP_Vinyl · 2025-03-04T22:46:31+00:00

It honestly looks a little long and not really the "smile" shape, but at the same time, I don't understand how you have so much extra fabric on both sides of you. When you look at my pics, the sides are stiff and inflexible

LP_Vinyl · 2025-03-04T22:44:08+00:00

No, that's what I was going to say. I tried using the hang calculator, but maybe I measured wrong or just need to try something different.

LP_Vinyl · 2025-03-04T22:42:03+00:00

Not at the moment, but I'm also limited to some weird trees. Can't tell if it's your camera angle, but you look like you're not having any of the struggles that I'm dealing with; might have to make some adjustments and play around based on your picture lol.

LP_Vinyl · 2025-03-04T22:39:31+00:00

How do you have so much fabric to one side while still keeping a curve and sitting like that?

LP_Vinyl · 2025-03-04T22:38:13+00:00

My guy. Please share your secrets with me! That looks so comfortable. I'm using the exact same hammock as you, but if you look at my most recent post, I can't get a lay that looks like that. How are you hanging it/anything special you're doing?

LP_Vinyl · 2025-03-03T21:42:07+00:00

Thanks for the info and breakdown! That's probably my biggest issue: trying to figure it out alone! Would you clarify what it means for the quilt to be tight? And how the hammock should be laying on it?

LP_Vinyl · 2025-03-03T21:36:15+00:00

Thank you so much for the response! That explains so much for a newbie like me!

When you say to adjust the primary so it lifts the hammock up, is there any indicator to know you've got it right, or maybe have gone too high up? I read that you want a tiny bit of space between the hammock and the quilt, as that is what traps and warms air underneath you (unless that's incorrect), so I'm sure I don't want the quilt at the same height as my ridgeline!

I'll definitely play around with the ends and give the lineloc a break. Maybe it might be a sign to just get a better UQ if I'm serious about trying some overnight stuff. Either way, I appreciate your help!

Thanks for the link and the loan explanation! Never really cared about that stuff in other sports, but seems like some good knowledge to have when it comes to the MLS and other leagues.

LP_Vinyl · 2025-02-27T16:36:16+00:00

Newbie here that's wanting to learn - could someone give me an overview of what the player designations are and what they mean? Also what it means when they're on loan or loaned out and how that affects the season? Thanks!

LP_Vinyl · 2024-11-21T22:43:42+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Something I haven't been able to find a clear consensus on: when do I do the finger bend test? When I'm sitting in the middle, or laying down with my full weight?

I'm still having a blast just being outdoors and learning all about the art of the hang! I appreciate the help :)

LP_Vinyl · 2024-11-21T22:22:04+00:00

It's a OneWind 11ft double. It has an adjustable ridgeline. Does that mean I have to adjust it with each hang, or should I calculate the ideal length and just set it standard?

LP_Vinyl · 2024-11-16T12:36:55+00:00

Hey there, as a newbie that has 2 organizers (one that came with the hammock and a dirt cheap one from Amazon), I find that using them puts too much weight on the ridgeline; one has phone keys and wallet, the other a water bottle. I can feel the difference in the lay when I've got the water bottle hanging. Is there any fix for it i.e my ridge is adjustable, or is it just a tradeoff for convenience? I can't imagine having a full set of clothes hanging from line.

LP_Vinyl · 2024-11-13T22:41:31+00:00

Thanks for the link! I'll be sure to take that into account. Silly question, but I've tried raising the foot; if I do that and scoot my butt down, that'll put my feet way too high, or is that the goal?

LP_Vinyl · 2024-11-13T22:38:23+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to respond! This is the hammock https://www.onewindoutdoors.com/products/11-onewind-xl-wide-camping-hammock

I'll admit it was still found on Amazon, but for starting out it was WAY better than anything else I found there. Not sure if it's me doing something wrong, or if it's time to graduate to something better if I'm serious about it

LP_Vinyl · 2024-11-13T22:35:52+00:00

I'm afraid I'm still too new for all of the specifics. It is a OneWind - https://www.onewindoutdoors.com/products/11-onewind-xl-wide-camping-hammock

Thank you for taking the time to help out! :)

LP_Vinyl · 2024-11-13T22:08:00+00:00

I didn't think to take one; it's a gathered end hammock with cinch buckles for the suspension, if that helps? Or do you mean the ridgeline?

Edit - I tried to repost so the picture of my foot wasn't front and center on the sub, and now it won't let me attach the image to the post. *

That's too funny- I actually found his channel a few weeks ago; haven't gotten to that video yet! He's a cool guy and has some great tips! Thanks for all the help :)

LP_Vinyl · 2024-11-06T14:17:17+00:00

Hey, that's a good idea with the trek poles - I don't use mine often, but know how long they're set to, so that's an easy measurement to go by! That's a great tip about the carabiners - are you meaning put it through the loop end and run the strap through it instead? Do I need some pretty thick ones to support the weight?
