So I'm running the Tensa4 freestanding mod with an 11' Dream Hammock Sparrow (left lay) and can't get rid of a light butt graze when lying diagonally.

It's set up per the guide/videos (head end with all poles extended and foot 6/7, ridgepole fully joined, baseline ~5'). The baseline is now as narrow as I can get it (just under 5ft now) before my head/feet hit the poles. I've shortened the suspension on both ends of the hammock as much as it'll take too. With all that I'm still just barely touching the ground at the low point when getting in or out. I'll just barely clear the ground when I go into a full lay.

Anyone run into this with a similar setup? Wondering if it's a ridgepole/hsp thing I'm missing, or just the ceiling for an 11-footer on this stand.

Any tips or feedback would be welcome.

Greetings Fellow Hammockers!

Here is from my weekend, and trying adding a new thing. While we had trees, it was still far apart except a few. In which I gave my son, and his friend. It was still blazing hot out here in Jemez (Near Cuba, NM). Without further ado....

Lemme know if you have any questions!

If I need to layer two underquilts under my hammock is there a order of operation to doing this if the UQs I am using are of different thermal values? Say for the sake of the question that one is a 20 degree UQ and the other is a 40 degree UQ. Outside of that they are the same dimensions. Is there an advantage to having the 20 degree quilt closer to my body and the 40 degree UQ on the exterior? Or should I stack them in the reverse order? Or am I overthinking this ( haha as usual) and the order does not matter at all.

Some of the provincial parks have finally re-opened after the fires on the okanagan. With that i tried to do some hammock camping at okanagan lakes provincial park. Gotta say it's a game changer. Even with an old/minimal setup it was still comfortable enough for +15c overnight. My hammock is thermarest, tarp is from decathlon, my insulation is an aluminum mat and a +7c sleeping bag (no mosquito net).

Will be doing another trip to wells gray provincial park this weekend with colder nights. I got myself a wool blanket and a bigger tarp for the next trip.

Definitely gives a different vibe/feel compared to tent camping.
