If you're on the fence, get the bigger one. I'm 6'4", 240 and I purchased the NA. I'm snug and I don't mind it. If the extra $40 is affordable, go for it.

I am a lurker! I have learned much from y'all and hopefully, soon, will have more to add.
I survived my first 27 degree night with a CNA, a synthetic comforter, two small fleece blankets and a liter of hot water on Oct 11 in Michigan.
It was HalloWeekend at Brighton State Recreation...
Look at the Bridge Hammock. They are designed to allow for a flat sleep surface when hung tight.
I'm more than a litte envious, good for you Hack. Can we get some more information about your trip? I realize we may sound a little persistent, but a little vicarious living can be good for us. :)
While camping in Bosnia (Army) I would climb into my military mummy bag, and wait for couple of minutes, after which I sat up, removed my bdu top (outer shirt) and laid it underneath me, and shuck my...
Thank you Stretch, I appreciate the confirmation. :)
I hammocked a little to close to the underbrush one trip and woke up with a chipmunk on my hip one morning. I moved and he ran off.
Nothing like getting close to nature.
Any reason you couldn't buy a seatbelt at a junkyard and sew up your own strap?
I saw the an inexpensive hammock at the store and thought, "Hey, there's an idea." Bought a used army poncho for a fly and off I went. When it started to wear out I found true camping hammocks and...
You will hear no good reasons to purchase a *shudder* tent from us. *Goes off to the shower.*
,The Clark NA will keep you warm, and if you're in hot weather you can turn yourself around and lay down so your legs are over the pockets thus helping you regulate your temperature.
I believe you...
Just tell them it's a suspended tent! :D
I'd assume some temp control could be achieved if you flipped around in the hammock to get the cool breeze on your back. However, I'm still a new user so I haven't gotten to try it yet.
Thanks for the warning Take-a-knee, I guess I won't test it today.
Has anyone tried the soft sided two quart canteen the military issues. That, coupled with the cover (insulated) it may be just the ticket. If anyone has any firsthand experience with it, I'd be...
I have the jungle bag. I liked the packability and the bug net, but I agree that the temp ratings are a little off. We're a warm weather camping family, but with my clark (come Christmas)I'm...
I thought that the hanging instructions were inovative.
"2. Thread one rope end through at least three loops."
That's kind of slick, providing it'll hold.
Thanks everyone, My wife told me that I should get the one I want because I would only be getting one. After she tried it, she's started talking about getting one...
11. Thou shalt convert the...
Recieved it last night, set it up in the dusk with a couple of mistakes, not bad. Hopped into read, relax, and eventually slept. Long johns, pillow, and a fleece throw was all I had to stay warm. ...
This is a great list, thanks for bumping to the top again. Currently I'm impatiently awaiting my new clark.
