I may be late to the party, but this is exactly what you need to do. Tie off the hammock suspension to the pole end eyes then add a ridgeline from hammock end to hammock end. Hang stays consistent,...
That's what started this. His instructions seem to imply the use of bias tape. I understand the utility of that on the bugnet side of things, but it is confusing on the hammock body. (I did send...
I've read the forum posts and watched Grizz's and Hikerdad's videos on making a DIY bridge hammock, purchased and cut out all the materials, and am just about to start sewing.
Despite rewatching...
As long as you are experimenting...
If the issue is that the structural ridgeline in the HH Scout gets in the way, why not put an ADDITIONAL structural ridgeline farther up your suspension line,...
I'll look forward to seeing that video!
I've searched the forums and was surprised I didn't come across any references to "nesting" two hammocks together. I've rigged this set up in my basement (and one overnight with my son's Scout...

Thanks to all responders. I'm realizing I should have been clearer on what I am trying to do.
I live in the Chicago area and I probably should have put that in the title of my post. I am 6'4",...
Good Point Ramblin Rev.
I'd need it by Saturday, 7/16 as we leave the next morning. I'm only staying through Wednesday of that week. The camp is in Wisconsin so a bugnet is pretty key I think,...
Hi.
I'm an Assistant Scoutmaster for a suburban Chicago Scout Troop and will be attending 3 nights of this summer's troop Scout camp. I've been lurking on the forums for a bit and am almost ready...
Hi,
I'm a noob that has been lurking here a bit. While there is lots of info in these forums, at the end of the day it appears everyone just got out and tried hanging and started tweaking their...
