    Question Need some help from fellow Clydesdales

    I have read about a hundred post and another hundred reviews, somebody please give me a hand! I am a BIG guy 6'3" and 350lbs and I am looking for a Hammock to take with me on my dirt bike trips. I need one with the no seeum and a tarp. I believe that im going to go with the Claytor Jungle hammock with the rain fly, however so many products say that they will work for big people but don’t ever come close to working. Is there anyone on here that has had good success with one type or another? I am all ears… ?

    Talk with PapaSmurf. He can hook you up. 6'8" and 250 lbs here, and the hammock he made for me is amazing.

    And don't forget the Switchback from Tree to Trail gear - it is nice and wide for us big guys (6'1" 260 at my largest). I am also hearing good things about PapaSmurf's hammock, I can tell you the bugnet I got from him a while back is first quality. I may be adding one of his hammocks to my hammock box soon.

    Check out Grand Trunk Goods Skeeter Beeter Pro. It is very affordable and very roomy.

    6'4" here and 308....I like my WBBB 1.7 DL. So far it has been quite solid.

    6'1 310 here- and the WBBB, while a great hammock, didn't have enough room in the shoulders for me. I also didn't like the single position of an assym- Tree to Tree Switchback for me. Much more roomy- no calf pressure and any position you choose. I put a Big Mammajamma tarp over the top- and Hammock Gear made me some killer TQ/UQ downy goodness. I also use my rig for Motorcycling- as well as raft and hiking trips. Good luck! Lots of great custom gear out there for Clydesdales!
