I'm 6'5" and 350, and I just read Speer's book. The idea of using Dyneema had never occurred to me. I think Speer recommends 4 oz/yd cordura for someone my weight, but I've not had any luck finding any for sale.
Thru-hiker.com lists the Dyneema at 4 oz per square yard, so It wouldn't be any heavier, but I imagine the Dyneema would not breathe very well.
Does anyone know where I could find 4 oz cordura? $20/yard is pretty salty for Dyneema, but I bet I'd be the only kid on my block with a dyneema hammock.
