One question i haven't been able to answer is about hammock size. Can a hammock be too big? Are there advantages to say having an HH Explorer Deluxe as opposed to an Expedition even though one is 5' 9" and not 6' 1". I can understand that if someone is tall they would feel cramped in a smaller hammock but how about the other way round. And how about width? I'm asking because there are enough different styles of hammocks even in the HH line that it would be impractical to become familiar with them all. Are there some general principles that we need to keep in mind? Personally I would like to buy one of each (warbonnets, clark, et. al.) and give each a try but that would be expensive. I've just thought of an example that would frame one aspic: Let's say a person weighed 265 but even though he wasn't 6' he bought a HH Explorer Deluxe because of the added weight handling specs. Then the buyer lost 100 lbs would the Deluxe still be ok? Besides the length of a hammock how would sag affect fit. Even though two people were the same height and fit perfectly lengthwise in a hammock would their weight dramatically affect their hammock experience? And are some manufacturers models more forgiving overall and more versatile?
