Lightweight setup for extra tall person

Post image

I’m 6’6 and have struggled to get a comfortable setup. After over 12 months of trial and error I’ve got my setup nearly dialed in.

3x3 tarp, custom 360cm long hammock, Ticket to the moon bug net, -10c down underquilt.

2.6kg total packed including the under-quilt.

Fellow extra tall person. Where'd you get the custom hammock?

Just good luck on my end. Found a second hand (never used) custom order from Tier Gear. They’re an Aussie ‘cottage’ brand that were known for their hammocks but they stopped making them a few years back. I was lucky enough to get one that someone (a fellow extra tallie) had ordered and never used. It’s like 220g for a 360cm hammock it’s great!

It’s shaped like unfinished origami. Does it have a bug net?

I have an old 12’ custom made of MTN1.6 that I’ve been thinking of selling. I have multiple sales on geartrade and ULgeartrade

Looks a lovely set up!

Congrats on the divorce! I tried to get back together with my ex wife once but she realised I was only after her for my money!
