Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.
Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.
Hey LRR, just as a guess, I would say a double layer M50 hammock with the suspension and RL made with Dynaglide would come in somewhere between 7-9 oz. If I get around to it, I can take the suspension off of my hammock, remove the RL, and weigh it. Then I could give a more accurate guess. I think that a DL M50 could hold 225-250 lbs. But that is a guess. There is no proof of that yet that I know of. There are some other HF members that have been experimenting with M50 hammocks and maybe one of them has a DL and can better answer your question.
That's awesome, Raiff!

That is impressive. Interested to see how it holds up. I'm right at that 200# mark, so the curiosity. Great work.
That settles it, next pay check I'm ordering me a few yards to whip up my own M50 hammock. Think I'll be the heaviest person thus far to test one at 200+ lbs.
Better get some cushions for under me.

Wow Raiffnuke!
I cant believe i missed this thread until now.
Fantastic job on the hammock.
Are you using 1/16 shock cord and 'tiny' cord locks?
if not, I think you might save another gram or 2.
but who's counting grams now !!!!
