I do the same thing if I'm bracing off land or a dock, paddle in front when I kneel and paddle behind when I sit

I got the same property you did but on video!

That's my new hammock setup and it's 10yrs old already. I prefer quilts over pads in single layer hammocks. For double layer a pad makes a little more sense especially since it makes going to ground much easier.
