1. How to optimize the pleasures of your Yucatecan hammock.
This is the laid-back life-style slouch position where the magical Yucatecan hammock mysteriously sucks the intuitive
painlessly out of your reposed body. Above is a 1.5 kilo size.
Note; for optimum comfort and peacefully cool repose your hammock should be hung with approximately these
specified parameters; hangers two meters high and four meters apart.
When you adjust the catenary angle and it is comfortably correct, like the angle of an anchor rode on a moored boat
you will achieve the best in comfort. Remember that the coolest place in a room is on the floor, so get your hammock
down there as close as possible by adjusting the ropes. I am sure that you will find as we have that a tight hammock
is not only dangerous but also not comfortable or relaxing.
Getting in, Jane first finds the center of this one kilo hammock which we find to be just about the smallest weight that
is comfortable for one person of our size. We consider is adequate for our various travels including bicycle
excursions.
Just like getting into a canoe, first you must find the center, then get in and the load is balanced and comfortable.
The one kilo hammock is stretched to the limits, but the magical comfort is still enticingly satisfying. Lying diagonally
you are as horizontal as you would be in a bed.
A slight turn away from the diagonal and your head and feet are elevated slightly. Bunching the hammock behind
your head will also elevate it and with experimentation you will be sure to find your favorite adjustments for reading
or just snoozing.
A full 90º puts you into the easy-chair position that has numerous possibilities. Here with feet down and head up.
Head up and feet up is just the beginning of your comfort level options.
So dangle your feet and elevate your head…it is relaxing entertainment.
This is not just a hammock; it is a very versatile piece of furniture. As you can see the possibilities are nearly endless
as Jane takes her new easy chair position.
Again as you can see the easy chair is very adjustable with only a slight position change.
Upright is easily achieved.
Just like a straight backed chair your hammock’s possibilities continue to astound.
