    Latest hammock. Pretty light.

    I got this fabric on the fs section here (thanks xtrekker). It's 1.1 ripstop. I cut it down to 10.5'x54". 5.60oz with the dynaglide ucr's. it's pretty comfy as well.

    Nice, that is a LIGHT hammock!

    Are those dimensions before or after hemming/channels?

    I'm curious, how tall you are and do you find it to be as comfortable as longer/wider hammocks?

    I actually didn't do a sewn channel on this one. I just did a rolled hem all the way around and attached the ucrs.

    I'm right at 6'. The hammock is actually pretty comfortable, but I wouldn't make it much smaller than this....I think it's pushing the limit for me.

    I had one out of suit lining material once that was close to that weight. Scared me every time I climbed into it. But it will cut that pack load.
