Lyndon,
Have a butchers in the group buy section where MagiKelly is running a fourth buy of some very good quality hammocks. There'll be no worries about strength as I'm 6' 3" and somewhat (Ahem) heavier than you ;)

Hi lyndon,

I was using a DD enclosable hammock that I bought from ebay last night, they are pretty good. They follow the same sort of pattern as is posted on the main site for the Thai hammock, I have been using the Thia hammock type for a long time now.

A few years ago I offset my pelvis and I can have a good nights kip in one, so if you can get one it's a pretty good deal.

Before you buy one ask about on here for people that have Thai/enclosable hammocks for thier opinions.
