That looks extremely cozy 😁
Pretty comfy! I just upgraded it with a "loft" (https://hammockgear.com/mesh-ridgeline-loft/) and organizer (https://hammockgear.com/ridgeline-organizer/) to hang on the ridgeline.
Before this I was using prusik knots, carabiners, and stuff sacks to hang stuff inside the hammock (e.g. phone, head lamp, knife, water, etc). These should simplify things a bit.
Huh, that seems useful for clothes and whatnot. Doesn't it get a bit too cramped inside the hammock though?
Haven't tested yet, but they don't seem to hang down very low into the hammock. Both can easily be slid along the ridgeline to whatever position you'd like. On my last couple trips, it was kind of annoying to try to find something in my stuff sack without removing it from the ridgeline. The "organizer" should alleviate this, as it's a mesh material. I can turn on my headlamp and immediately see what I'm looking for.
I might do a test hang in the yard this weekend to find the best positions for them. If I do, I'd be happy to reply back with photos and any thoughts I might have.
