BarberMike's M50 Hammock sewn by Raiffnuke

[DemostiX]

As for how it pleats near the end I'm not sure what that has do with anything but keep in mind this is not a gathered and whipped or knotty end. It has a channel end.

I suspect that the tendency of the hammock to pleat in so many small pleats is related to the absence of a few major ridges which make occupants uncomfortable. Just a theory or notion, and I may even be incorrect in how I read those photos and the multiplicity of ridges I see.

Gathered end hammocks include, in usage here, all but bridges. I have several Clarks, all have channels which I use, and they are all, to most, gathered end hammocks. The techniques of handling the ends, with or without channels, to maximize comfort, is a subject that has come up repeatedly, with some recommended, but without widespread recognition and adoption.

I have yet to get the m50 hammock from raif but will test it. Not sure how. I've been doing a lot of winter camping maybe ill take it with me. I just don't want to test it with a zero deg underquilt and a -10 bag. Maybe I will still try it and take my Northwoods hammock as backup. I am right around 200 myself. Ill be under a pound with my cuben tarp from zpacks. The titanium tent stakes will be a good portion of the weight lol. It could be an expensive test given all the extra weight I would be adding. Ill prob test it at home before i go iut for tbe weekend too.
