    A friend of min is 6'7" and 250ish and uses a Hammock Bliss single and it works fine for him. I am a 6'2" and 300 on a big frame and the ENO double nest is very comfortable for me.

    You had me till the grits and coffee in the hammock scene that looked and sounded downright luxurious to me. :D Agree that it needed more pig brains in gravy but understand the time constraints.
