    All kidding aside, it looks great, you are getting pretty good my man.
    It's about 30oz with everything except the tree straps. This hammock was never meant be UL. Its just a hammock for all seasons and alot of features. This thing is REALLY comfortable...Double layering that fabric worked out perfectly.

    What are the dimensions?
    Thanks.
    The dimensions are 126" x 66". I cat cut the ends to alleviate some of the calf ridge experienced when laying in different positions. It also helps keep the sides from going floppy. Here is a diagram of how I hem my hammock ends.

    So did you sew two runs of zippers around the whole thing?

    Yeah.
    This hammock took me quite a while to finish. That Top Cover is going to be so nice to have when the temps plummet and the wind picks up on those trips to the Blue Ridge Mtns. I have use a DIY Hammock sock on several trips an it proved its value each time. Using a Top Cover, basically allows me to have the benefits of a Hammock sock but not the same weight penalty.

    Very nicely done! Just got in a bunch of 30D Coyote Brown for a similar project and your pics helped answer some questions I had. I really like the bugnet zipper running all the way up and over the head end in one continuous run - that solves my dilemma on how to have the net zip mostly off while still using 2 way zippers (having to always reach up above my head to open/close seemed like it'd be a pain).

    Really nice work - it's a beautiful hammock!
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."
