    Smile Greetings from West Tennessee

    I'm knew to the wonderful world of hammocks, and I'm trying to decide between the blackbird and a Hennessey. I've got a hammock bliss triple, but I've not slept in it yet (no tarp, or bug protection yet - rather than spending money there I thought I'd bite the bullet on the BB or HH). I'm 6'4" and about 280 lbs so I need something bigger. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Looking forward to some serious hang time this summer.

    Hey BigLazy. Good name for a hammocker! I don't think you can go wrong with either. If you don't like that bottom entry on the Hennessey they offer a zipper. A friend suggested the 2QZQ modification though. He says it's much better.

    BigLazy, that is a great hammock name. I'm abot 6'4 also. I have a HH and a Clark NA. I'm comfortable enough in both but I would like to get something longer. Not sure what that would be. Tried the Black Bird once. It has a foot box that really helped. Got to put those size 14 feet somewhere!

    I'm sure someone here can suggest a good fit.
