I recently just finished my first hammock. I read on just Jeff's hiking page that a hammock should be 2 feet longer than your height, and since I am 6'1", I used nylon that was 120" by about 64". After I finished the hammock, I measured from whipped end to whipped end and it turned out to be about 9 feet. Even though that is over the two feet, is that a good length for someone of my height?
I realize a lot of you will probably say it's all based on preference, so instead of the first question, what lengths do you prefer your hammock to be?
