Background Story:
I've found a few threads on the topic, but wanted to see with others think. I'm thinking of trying a 10-foot hammock but unsure of I should go down that "rabbit trail" When I discovered hammocks years ago I had an ENO and it was leaps and bounds above the tent camping experience. I had chest reconstruction surgery when I was young and still have the titanium plate so needless to say that the night was always my least favorite part of any hiking/camping/astronomy trip. After watching videos and researching hammock forums it seemed I wanted to try something better so I settled on a Dutch 11 foot. It was leaps and bounds over the ENO for sleeping. Since then, I've also picked up a 12-foot, which I love for napping in the yard.
Question: Am I missing out a 10-foot hammock and is it worth trying one? It seems like a 10-foot would save a little weight and more importantly, be easier to find trees. The trouble is that in the meantime, I've accumulated a lot of accessories for my 11-foot-fronkey bug net, UQ protector, Hammock Sock, tarp...all 11 foot. May end up being kind of a dangerous path. Or maybe I can just find a vendor that makes a 10 foot hammock with an integrated bug net. I've always wanted to try those.
O, by the way, I may be picking up a Tensa Hammock Stand in the future. So I'm not sure if a 10 foot version may be easier for that.
