go here:
Hammock Forums for a wealth of info on hammocking. Honestly, you'll enter a world of TMI which will have your head spinning.
I've got a hammock as well and can't believe all the things you need to consider and all the cordage you'll need to get.
Despite the fact taht there's an almost overwhelming wealth of info available, there's a sub-forum for articles where you can learn all about hammock hanging, ridge lines, tarps, etc. Enjoy!
P.s.: I agree with lori....it
is a bit frustrating because there seems to be so many options, and no two folks seem to agree on a single way of doing one thing.
