From Pathfinder Wiki
- Set the height: The hammock should be about 18-24 inches off the ground for easy entry and exit.
- Adjust the angle: The hammock should hang at a 15-30 degree angle from the suspension point. A slight sag is fine for comfort.
- Test the tension: Tighten or loosen the straps or ropes until the hammock has a comfortable amount of give.
- Sit properly: To sit comfortably, sit in the middle of the hammock and swing your legs in. Ensure the hammock supports your lower back.
- Lying position: Lay diagonally across the hammock (not straight down the middle). This flat lay reduces the “banana” curve and allows for a more natural sleeping position.
- Adjust for comfort: If needed, adjust the height or tension for a more comfortable sleeping position. Use a pillow or stuff sack for neck support.
