The ridgeline is flat webbing and is adjustable! At least for a few inches. The hammock also includes a small ridgeline organizer that has metal clips that lock it into place. The Ninox includes elastic pull-outs that are color coordinated to match the clip points on the hammock and are designed to mate with the tarp, but can be clipped to the ground. Tie-outs on the bug net are located on four corners, thus avoiding Patent Trolls from other hammock designs. The no-see-um bug netting can be completely removed / unzipped for an open hammock style. There are quilt hooks and clips that are designed to match the Sierra Madre quilt selection, but will work for any under quilt you may have. I’ll give them credit: it’s an ingenious idea that keeps everything together, yet apart (keeps dirty/sappy straps away from your hammock!). Why? Well, I immediately thought of using that “extra” space to store the straps, and after watching the Sierra Madre set-up videos, that’s exactly what they’re designed for. The opposite end is just another cinch opening. On one side, the closer is sealed with just a plastic slit (Bishop bag) for the end of the hammock. The cinched ends of the sack open up to reveal another closure. It’s a double-sided Bishop bag, which sounds a bit over engineered-reminds me of the original stuff sack on the Kammok Roo (remember that?). The stand-out features on this hammock actually start with the stuff sack. I had nearly forgotten about it since the production time on this particular hammock was taking so long. In this case, a new hammock that I backed on Kickstarter many months ago. It’s the promise of some new gear to explore, some new adventure to take. It’s hard to find something more thrilling than a mysterious package on your doorstep.
