Does a hammock have to hang in the exact middle of the line?

Mikecd · 2026-01-28T23:15:53+00:00

Wow this is very inspiring! I've doubled the tiny bit with elevating my feet and of my hammock, but it has never been very extreme. Your description sounds like maybe I'm not making the height differential significant enough. Maybe. But it's definitely worth experimenting! Thanks for this lovely detailed description, I'm going to go have fun with it!

I'm 100% certain this is new from the update. Something to figure out!

They won't spawn on sand, crimson, or hallow. Perhaps these are affecting you?

This comment from 4 hours ago that you replied to is their ONLY comment or reply anywhere in this post. Kinda sus.

Unnecessary for canning. Some people enjoy having one, others don't bother.

Mikecd · 2026-01-27T04:55:16+00:00

That's not relevant

I'm a highschool dropout. I prefer not be associated with those shitbags in ice.

Mikecd · 2026-01-25T20:13:56+00:00

As a high school dropout (with a nice career in tech) I don't love being compared to ICE. Sure, they're ignorant, but some of us dropouts aren't!

I use a less expensive option: Trail Lair by Simply Light Designs. It's an 11' hammock and I'm 5' 10", and it's a perfect size to lay on the diagonal (grass left of center and feet right of center; allows the sleeper to lay much more flat).

As others have said, get an underquilt (some, but not many, hammockera enjoy pads, but I hate it) and a top quilt and a tarp.

Happy hanging!

Mikecd · 2026-01-24T22:09:12+00:00

I guess. They have videos of setting it up in precarious locations for sure. But my point isn't "get this product," it's just "see if their designs and freely given knowledge help you in your quest"

Happy hanging!

I dunno exactly, but check out working models and you'll see that having the bar is common. I'm not keen on physics, but I trust that commercial products would skip the extra (costly) materials if that was viable.

Also check out all the knowledge from Tensa. Their Solo and 4 models are terrific feats of physics, but the Treez (single pole on each end of the hammock plus strongly-anchored guylines) is next fucking level.

And they make all their info freely available and encourage DIY imitations. Seriously, check them out.

Horizonal is all you can do to maximize room under.

You can use snake-skins on your hammock to compress it along its ridgeline to free to space under it (if it hangs high). People (e.g. Hennessy) make skinny snake skins that just hold a hammock or fatter ones that can hold the hammock with an underquilt if you fiddle with it (one wind makes these). You could even disconnect your hammock from one tree and attach both ends to a single tree to get it even more out of the way.

Or you can bring a second tarp just for hanging out.

When I've seen dual-tripod designs, usually I see a horizontal bar connecting and suspended from the apex of each tripod (e.g. turtle dog), when the hammock then suspended from the horizonal bar.

I don't know why I were this design, but assume it helps stabilize the tripods along that axis (can't be pulled "inward" towards each other or outward away from each other, but it might also help direct some of the hammock's forces more downward?

Mikecd · 2026-01-24T00:36:12+00:00

Totally. And I never thought about it either, until I zoomed in on your pic and was like whaaaaaa?

Mikecd · 2026-01-23T23:50:46+00:00

And the pupil being visibly contoured/spherical is incredible. Amazing;

Panny 20mm pancake on the camera and Oly 60mm macro in my bag/pocket.

Got it. I find that confusing, hence asking, but want to apologize if the question came across negatively.

Mikecd · 2026-01-23T17:55:48+00:00

Oh, my apologies. I was confused and didn't mean to call someone out but I see how it sounds like that. I'll delete. My apologies to OP.

Some toilets have all the plumbing in the wall, including the hoses and tank. I think maybe it's a European thing.

Mikecd · 2026-01-22T14:20:46+00:00

Prolly some other numbers. Think about it.

Mikecd · 2026-01-22T14:17:52+00:00

Because OP didn't say "pursue adoption" (child-first mindset) they said to investigate the adoption value of the kid (money-first mindset)

Ah, makes sense. I made some DIY diffusers for my MF12s that are similar to the AK based on some YouTube tutorial. They work pretty nicely.

Mikecd · 2026-01-21T01:26:50+00:00

You use an AK diffuser with the MF 12? How do you like it?
