So. to save weigh, I opted for the Hummingbird Single instead of the Single plus. Sometime the single is perfectly wide enough, but in less than optimal conditions (read as: “couldn’t find a better place to hang”) the warnings have rang true..it can sometimes be unconformable narrow…so far about 1/3 of the time it has been…So just when I was about to go get a single plus…I decided to try and use my trekking pole to widen the shoulder area …you read that rigt. I laid in the hammock and laid a trekking pole across my chest and forcibly widened the shoulder area…and it is not half bad. But…not ideal, turning over in your sleep is not possible and it feels very restricting …so then I attached two zpacks cuben fiber no sew tie out pointsright where my shoulders were. I’m 5’10” fyi, and I used two small stakes with my Tree strap extensions that I will be carrying anyways (I only use the extenders rarely anyways, they are just nice to have when needed, and have a second purpose now) and you can probably imagine all I had to do is tie out that section of the hammock and I get a nice triangular shape to relax in, it helps keep me from rocking so much as well, which I have always hated about hammocks .
Just thought I would share these tips
