I just received a new hammock from The Bearded Hanger. It is a 11' double layer, gathered end hammock made of 2.2 Hex70 XL with a Knotty mod at the head and the foot. This isn't for back packing and I don't have a weight on it. I weigh around 285# so the hammocks I have ordered have been ordered for weight limit not pack weight. I slept in it last night indoors and it was very comfortable. The wider 11' hammock allows me to get a very flat lay. I will take it up in the hills next weekend and will take a picture or two. This is my second Bearded Hanger hammock. He has always been quick to answer emails and has been open to any custom changes I wanted. The quality is great. The stitching is flawless. I have ordered both hammocks from Michael without suspension so I could use my own. I am not much of a DIYer except for splicing so I like to make my own continuous loops and fixed ridgelines. Both hammocks have been a rather subdued olive drab and charcoal grey. I think that color combination looks great.
If you are in the market for a new hammock give The Bearded Hanger a look. The two hammocks I have ordered from him have been exceptional. Actually, I guess they are exceptional to me but I am thinking everything he makes is of this quality so maybe it is standard for him.
