Looking to make the conversion from tent to hammock, I am 5'10 and about 230 lbs. I was wondering if the explorer deluxe was maybe to much for me?

Not sure what you mean by 'too much'. I am 5'11", 200 lbs and find it extremely comfortable. In fact, I am currently at a retreat where I have slept in my Hennessey every night for the past 3 weeks - through rain and cold. It's awesome. Go for it. It's a good day to hang

You'd be fine with the Expedition, but in my opinion (6'1'', 175 lbs), the added size of the Explorer Deluxe makes it a whole lot more comfortable. Also, I recommend getting the zipper one.

I would definitely go for the largest unit. I am 6'1" and 180 and while the weight I do not think is an issue I definitely think that you will want some room for moving around. These are fantastic hammocks. You will love it.

My boyfriend is very tall and around 200lbs, we used this for camping and found it to be comfortable, but we have not used it for any other reason. Loved the convenience of being able to roll it to store it.

I would probaly go with the next step up. This is directly from Hennesy web page for the Expedition: "Height Limit: 6' tall / 180 cm Weight Limit: 250 lbs / 115 kg" Take a look at the Explorer. These are the specs for it: Height Limit: 7' tall / 213 cm Weight Limit: 300 lbs / 135 kg..... better yet, get the Safari! It has a much bigger rain fly!!: Safari DeluxesHeight Limit: 7' tall / 213 cm Weight Limit: 350 lbs / 159 kgBig enough for two!!

Well I am 5' 18" and 265 lbs and have no problem. I hung it between beams of a hot tub gazebo. It will stretch the first few times it is used so adjust it tighter each time. Enjoy your new hammock...

I'm not exactly sure what everyone is talking about but both my boyfriend, 6'5" at least 250, and myself, 5'5" about 175, fit very well in these hammocks. There is still plenty of room leftover both width and length. We sleep well. Our dog, JRT 15lbs, loves to snuggle up with us in them as well.

VERY durable hammock. I weigh 235 & also had my 110lb son in with me for a test. I believe the load limit is understated. I feel very comfortable swinging & sleeping in it. Good Luck!

I'm afraid I can help with this one. I have yet to use my tent. I bought it for my survival gear and haven't had the opportunity as yet to check it out. Sorry. Will do a follow up entry as soon as I do though.

Best tent ever...Easiest to put up and take down..I'm a 48 yr old woman and lived and camped in one all summer by myself. I thought it would end up being a rinky dink thing because of its ease but its GREAT> Perfect size. It did great in winds about 25...I did hook up the tie downs tho and staked them in good and tight..enjoy! (mine is orange tho?)

Hello I am 6' 1" 220lbs this tent is a fine inexpensive motorcycle camping tent ie no bugs . One has room inside for a limited amount of gear also quick setup and is easy to pack up makes this tent a great buy!!!

I'm 6 foot, and 190lbs. I didn't have any trouble sleeping in this hammock. If you are claustrophobic, get the larger model, otherwise, it was fine.

Technically it is only rated to 150 lbs. So that would exclude many adults. That being said I am 5' 10" and 230 lbs. and I have slept in it. It is not as long as my ENO Double nest for sure. My ENO is rated to 400 lbs. and comparing the construction of the two hammocks I would say that the materials and workmanship of the Hennessy is equal to or better than that of the ENO. If you are using it in a thoughtful manner I would say that it would be fine for adults, certainly if they are shorter than 5' 10"

How motivated are you, and how are you traveling? I really like this tripod, and have used it with 20x60 binoculars a mile walk from a vehicle. The 'pod, a 128RC mount, and a small spotter together weigh about 14 pounds. I have a vanguard tripod and a 391 head that will take the weight down to about 11 pounds - but the 55 is in my trunk today. I probably wouldn't try to take this on a plane, as its most collapsed length is still pretty good-sized, and I wouldn't likely take it backpacking, but for car camping and day hikes it's very good.

No problem. I'm 5'8, slept pretty comfortably. Just don't roll around to much. I used it in a hammock and the zipper failed.

I was a first timer with the 370...it's all about space. I'm 6'8", and we can fit me, my wife, my beagle, and tie on a couple backpacks, two chairs, a folding table , a tent... Go small for whitewater, but go 370 for day or multi-day trips.

Well the hammock was great while it lasted, however the hammock did NOT last very long! 3 months In Florida weather and the strings were rotting in half. My plan is to go back to my original hammock which was made of nylon. Length wise, yes I think it would've worked for you. Hope this helps.

I personally feel the SE 330 is too clamp even for 2 of 5'5", but for solo, 5'10" should be OK.Whether it's better than the SE 370, the choice is yours. You certainly will get more room with higher price. But since you go tandem only 10%, maybe you can get by with the SE 330, even though kind of crowded. I have used my SE 330 on the Pacific several times without any problems.
