Thats funny, one of the things i like best about my woodsman is i can sleep great on my side
Do any of you bother with the adjustable foot sag?
I cant work out what it does, the footbox is just 'there' without bothering with that bit of string
Didn't know there was a hammock campsite like that....fantastic idea
If you have enough sag any hammock ends up with a mock footbox. The sewn footbox's [warbonnet] and tension type [woodsman] are simply there to take the strain off any bug netting you may use (noseeum/nanoseeum has next to no stretch). People used to think they where added comfort, but they are not. Brandon [warbonnet] (who i am fairly sure was the first to use them on his hammocks) clarified this on HF and essentially said those reporting gain in comfort where being anecdotal (indicating they where not hanging the hammock 'saggy' enough to begin with).
There is no benefit at all on a net-less hammock with a tension style footbox unless you are stringing it out tight in which case they can sometimes remove the 'knee ridge', which is obviously bad practice anyhow; a sewn footbox however can stop your quilt falling out and make folk feel less exposed.
There are elasticated footbox's on the netless snipe, known as the 'knotty mod' on HF. This is to pull in the slack fabric, same benefit as a sewn footbox.
@OP - I never realised you where well into hammocks already, my first response must have sounded condescending, apologies if so. Was trying to be as helpful as possible in one post.
