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.
As a hammock camper, I'm curious: what sort of areas would a hammock open to you where you couldn't use a tent?
I have the opposite problem. I'm considering buying a tent so that I could camp in a spot without trees. I prefer a hammock, because they're comfy, but in some areas it just isn't feasible (on a bald, for example).
