    My New Claytor Jungle - This look ok?

    Does this look ok before I go and plop my fat *** down on it? Had to use a city provided tree, I don't have many trees here in the city. This is only for testing, I don't plan to sleep with it hanging like this.

    Oh man, it's great! It's a little narrow on me so I may need a little more sag but no real issues at all.

    Looks like you got it hung about right. A Claytor is one of the few hammocks I haven't tried. I need to find me a used one to try out.

    Looks fine. Hard to tell from this distance though.

    Unopened beer bottles are a different story... but sleep toward the house end so they have a place to land....

    Watch out for local laws about blocking sidewalks tho. That could kill the deal.

    I'm only doing short term testing like this, nothing over night.

    I like it but I may need to revisit an ENO DoubleNest. It is pretty narrow once I am in it with very little room for a big quilt. I'm a pretty big guy with very broad chest and size 44 waist.
