    For the Really TALL ?

    I have a brother in law who is about 6 ft 7 inches who is thinking of hammocking. Is there anything out there that would be comfortable for him that preferably has an attached bug net?

    Thanks

    HH Explorer deluxe is for up to 7' tall. I am not that tall, but this is what I use and is very roomy.

    If your not worried about weight the HH Safari is nice and big. It is a very comfortable hammock also.

    I just set up a Clark NX 250 for the first time, and while taking my first "ride" in it, I couldn't help thinking that it was awesomely large inside. I am just under 6ft. and just under 250lbs. and had a huge amount space left over.

    I'm 6'5" and am happy with both the WBBB and the WL Night Owl (and an 11' long WB Traveler).
