I've decided to give hammocks a try and I need recommendations for which hammock setup will best suit my needs. So here we; go I'm 250 lbs in the buff probably 270 lb hang weight with clothes, hammock, under and over quilts, pads, plus accessories. I'm mostly a side sleeper, sometimes on my stomach, and very rarely on my back. According to my wife I move around a lot throughout the night. I'm 6 foot tall with a long torso and short legs, wide shoulders and narrow hips. I carry a lot of my 250 lbs in the upper body. I have some trouble with my right knee and wear a brace on longer hikes. I'm not too concerned with weight since whatever hammock I try it will probably be lighter than my tent setup. I'm wondering if I should first try a bridge hammock or because of the higher cost maybe try a gathered end first? What do you guys think?
Thanks, WVwanderer
