Just got back from my first extended stay in my new BMBH! I am 5'8 and 195lbs and have fairly broad shoulders. I noted shoulder squeeze IMHO is related to the tension you set the hammock when you initially set up your rig.
I spent 5 consecutive nights in my hammock at BSA summer camp with my Troop and I slept very well after only a couple of minor adjustments in tension and head end elevation. Great hammock!!! I stayed cool, dry and bug free in lower Alabama!!!!
