do you feel better on flat or in hammock?

do you feel more comfortable sleeping on something flat or in hammock?

i guess we all of course prefer flat but using hammock for some practical reasons

in my case it's bugs etc in amazon

but i consider a camp bed because hammoking is too complicated imo, angle, ridgeline, 11ft minimal...

oh btw if you -1 i just want you to know that i contempt you, and you probably do too

shoulder compressed, why?

my shoulder/arm is pressed towards my body, is it just how hammocks work or is it because of my angle/not 11ft hammock?

i consider buying a camp bed, i'm pissed off this, it's too complicated to be comfortable, if it's even possible

perfect angle without ridgeline: possible?

heyy

if i understand correctly, the ridgeline helps to get the perfect (according to your taste) angle easier/instantly

but can the same angle be obtained without ridgeline? it would just take more time to adjust the two cords on trees?

or does the ridgeline allows some angle setting/specificity that couldn't be obtained without it?

it's not just about convenience/time gain?

i'm asking just about the angle stuff, not taking pressure for durability etc

trying complete bug net fix

hi, i sleep in amazon rainforest, i have a bug net which wraps the whole hammock "360°" (brand tickettothemoon)

where the bug net touches the hammock, if your skin touches there, you get bitten (e.g. on sides/extremities when making the form)

I don't want to use a sleeping bag to create spacing.

Maybe some huge spreading bars with huge bug net could create the required spacing, but that's not optimal (e.g. grand trunk mozzy)

I think the proper way is (shock) cords to pull the edges of the bug net on the sides

Uploaded is a photo of my first attempt, a taut line hitch with paracord attached to a bottom edge of the tarp

I used an elastic with some "mini ball" to make the bug net attachable

I ordered the "La Siesta bug net" which seems proper for my case

I'm surprised and disappointed I have to struggle that much to get a proper bug net setup...

Just wanted to say, and curious to see if you have suggestions
