Alright, sounds like it should be pretty comfortable. I went with an 11' x 5' piece of 1.9 ripstop from diygearsupply.com, do any of you know about how long they take to ship?

Glad to hear you guys are happy with the comfort of your DIY's. That's all I needed to make up my mind, so I'm ordering the materials right now :)

I've been camping for as long as I can remember, backpacking since I was 13, and have wanted to try using a hammock instead of a tent for a while. Now that I'll be staying at college over the summer...
