It didn't work so well when I did it. There wasn't enough down to properly fill the area.
If you added more down you'd be good. Imo

Lol np
I got 25' for my guys too. Started with 5' each, after my 3" eye splice and tail bury I ended up with little over 4'.

I'd definitely go with 11' or more.
Also Climashield quilts are a good option for wet weather quilts.
You hammock suspension list looks good tho I prefer 15 straps and buckles.

I love my hexon wide. I like the durability of the robic but it's not available up to 70+ wide. The stretch to me seems about the same.
The hexon feels way better then the robic.
Unfortunately...

Nicely done PharmGeek. The UQ will go way faster.

Well it sounds like you'll be making more :) it'll be good practice.
Excellent job! Keep up the DIYs

Sounds like you're looking for slug tubes. Though the Smurf Sack would be a good addition to your gear I think the tubes would fit your application better.

I think you'll have better luck with something 11' or more.
I'm 6'1" 195 and found a huge difference from 10 to 11.
I even made a 11.5 from hexon wide 1.6. That by far is my favorite hammock to...

Nice and well done. If it works who cares what it looks like. Looking good in my eyes is just a bonus when the builds done. Some time at the machine and you'll be pounding out all kinds of goodies. ...
