    You've researched hammock and come to the conclusion that an eight foot ham is suited for camping? Do tell.

    Unfortunately, i've been cursed with a 5'3 structure so I believe I don't need a 10' hammock.

    seems like maybe that info could have been mentioned right off the bat

    but yes, at a shorter size, you can get away with a shorter hammock. my boy's about your height, and his hammock at 9'8" is almost too short already

    I used Ed Speer's book to make my first hammock and it turned out to be about 9 feet with the knots in the ends. I took the knots apart to wash it and decided to sew in end channels so it was easier to take apart next time. The short hammock was great ( when I didn't know any better), but at 10 feet it is SOOOOO much more comfortable for me at 5'-4".
    The essential part of me can not be discussed here. Ask me in person.

    Yes I am about 5' 3" and have worked my way up to a 10 foot netted and a 10' 6" without net. The learning curve works at different speeds for different folks. But good advice taken accelerates the process.
