I watched some video on that at "risk's" site and the way they folded it made a lot of sense. The Byer has a sewn in cord that is weaved back and forth and into a loop to hang it from. I think the cords going to the center are also a bit too short, but there is no way to adjust them without undoing them entirely and I'm not that good with weaving rope.

But just making the hammock itself longer does the same thing the cords do on the Byer, so I don't see the advantage of adding them.

I'll have to play around like you have.


The one I am using now, I copied from a DIY on Hammock forums called "My take on DIY Hennessy Hammock". It is a sticky in the DIY section. He gathers his ends slightly different than the way Risk does. If I were you, I would try both ways and see which is better.
