I'm looking to build out a new hammock system for a six day backcountry hike in August 2015 where I want to have my entire hammock (including suspension, tree huggers) come in under 1 lb (453g). I'm looking at implementing some Dutchware Magic to help me achieve my goal.
Has anyone had any luck achieving such a task? What did you do/use (hammock fabric, suspension, hardware, huggers, etc.)? How long is your hammock (10 ft, 11 ft, etc.)? How wide?
How practical and comfortable is such a hammock? I am 5ft 10in (1.78m) tall and about 220 lb (100kg).
I need it to be quick to set up and not easy to lose items since we will be taking down/setting up every day as we hike 8–12 miles each day to different campsites. I want to build it soon so I can test it out several times before our trip.
Please provide links to resources/vendors/etc. when possible. I am very comfortable doing DIY.
Thanks in advance!
