Hi All, I just found this forum a few days ago and have found it very helpful. I have watched a lot of videos and looked at a lot of pictures.

You guys really know how to make cool gear!

I'm about to attempt to make my own hammock. I have most of the material and have a sewing machine.
What I need is a bit of advice to begin with.

I'm 6'4" - How long about should my hammock be?
from end to end including enough material to allow for hemming.

I've read about the shoulder sqeeze, so I'm trying to avoid it.

Thanks
