    Too big for the Grand Trunk double?

    I'm 6'3 and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm too tall to sleep in a Grand Trunk double comfortably. What do you guys think? Weight-wise I'm fine, I'm only 185 pounds.

    Size matters. Anybody who says different drives an expensive sports car to compensate.

    But seriously...I went from GT ultralight to 12' X 70" Simply Light Design Tree Runner. I've seen God.

    One more thought: I'm 6'5".

    But my kids love the 3 Grand Trunks we own. Good hammocks made for more wee peeps.

    I'm 6'5" and love the double. I just hang with allot of sag and use the extra width for a very diagonal hang.

    My first hammock was a GT Double (I'm 6' 3"). I had a bit of trouble with it until I put a ridgeline on it. Maybe give that a shot? I even used a GTSBP for a while, which is smaller, and was fine as long as I had a ridgeline.
