    Recommendations for 6' 3" 360lb hammocker

    Hi everybody,
    just askin for a friend that's flying out to Hawaii on Sunday - can anyone recommend a hammock for a guy around 6' 3" (would that be around 13'-14' long hammock?) that can support around 360lbs, that can be ordered and overnighted?
    Thanks in advance, and apologies if i've double posted, mis-posted, or otherwise done messed up

    You can try http://dutchwaregear.com. 717-947-7849. I'd suggest Hexon 2.4. Some taller folks may suggest hexon w1.6 perhaps in a double layer. I don't know if you'll get one overnight though. You can also try SLD http://www.simplylightdesigns.com/ca...hp/cPath/22_55
    and AHE http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/s...mock_Kits.html

    You definitely don't need a 13-14' long hammock. I'm 6' 2" and perfectly comfortable in an 11½', standard 60" width hammock.

    +1 for Simply Light Designs. Jared will make you an 11- or 12-foot Tree Runner or Trail Lair to your exact specifications in a double-layer of 1.9 oz nylon, and with an Amsteel SRL it'll hold you securely and comfortably (400 lb load capacity). His fulfillment times on custom hammocks are astonishing!

    I'm a fairly large human and think the warbonnet in XL is a solid choice.
