You’re welcome! There are so many designs that I’d really need something specific to compare it to.

I’m trying to find out whether the boat-shaped stands are more stable or less than those with feet? Can you help?

I’ve also fabricated Whoopie slings with Whoopie hooks to attach to my slings with a larks head. My ridgeline is adjustable with my sweet spot dialed in and marked. I have created an underquilt and since acquired a netted hammock too with its own adjustable ridgeline passing through grommets in the net so I can hang items in bags made for storage inside. My tarp is large (12’x10′) with a continuous ridegline of its own from Amsteel with prusiks and mini S clips to attach, and outfitted with bungee tensioner at the corners. Snakeskin over that for easy centering and set up. Top quilt is next on the list to then go do some hanging and nights out under the 🌙.

Hammock is easier to set up than tents. I bought a hammock on amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NLSKSRF which comes with sturdy carabiner and tree straps. I can set up the hammock in few seconds.

I have to admit the tent is easier to set up, it’s self standing and no stakes. I think I need to find a diamond tarp, my ENO pro fly is sweet but has 6 stakes!
My biggest complaint with a tent is you need to find the perfect spot to pitch it. I got the hammock because more than once I’ve woken up in a puddle during a rainstorm. That’ll ruin a good night’s sleep real fast. Never an issue with a hammock, now a big storm just rocks me to sleep.
I like that the ENO gear has integrated stuff sacks, I never have to hunt for them and it’s a convenient place to stow my headlamp and glasses when I go to bed.
I’ve replaced the suspension with whoopie slings. Awesome. Still fine tuning the ridgeline.

Thanks! I’ll get that fixed.
