Hi all, I'm new here so be gentle. :-)

I'm planning on starting my thru hike in early/mid April and have decided to go hammock style! The main problem I've encountered is that at 6'3'' 300 lbs, I'm built more like an offensive lineman than a prototypical hiker. As far as I can see, this leaves me with only two options:

- Speer 8.5c (350 lb max)
- Hennessy Explorer Deluxe ASYM (300 lb max)

Anyone have personal experience or know someone of similar 'stature' that has attempted hammock camping and could provide advice?

Cheers,
Big Cat
