Without further ado.....

Everyone congratulate post number 82 and UFDIGGA for his Dual layer bridge hammock entry!!!

Well tell them what he won Bob...

He won a $100 Amazon gift card to purchase a new sewing machine which actually dropped in price since the start of the thread. He can use it for this machine or apply it to a better one. But that's not all Bob...

He also won one heck of a lot of DIY gear to make his dream DIY dual layer bridge hammock. Including...

Hammock Body
4 yards PolyD 1.2, Black
4 yards PolyD 1.2, Brick Red
25 feet 1/2" polyester webbing (does Dutchware sell this? If not, I will provide)
1 spool Gutterman thread, Brick Red

Suspension
25 feet 7/64" Amsteel, Red (for one suspension triangle and one whoopie sling)
25 feet 7/64" Amsteel, Black (for the suspension triangle and whoopie sling on the other side)
Spreader Bars (I will provide)
Dutchware Ti Bridge Hammock End Kit (set of 4)
Dutchware Whoopie Hooks, or prototype bridge hammock connector! (one pair)
Dutchware Ti Dutch Clips (one pair)
25 feet 1" black webbing (to make my own tree-huggers)

Bug Net
4 yards No-See-Um netting
50 feet grosgrain (does Dutchware sell this? If not, I will provide)
25 feet light-duty zipper
25 feet shock cord
Mitten Hooks (one pair)
Mini Cord Locks (one pair)
1 spool Gutterman thread, Black

Other
Splicing Needle (the bigger one, for Amsteel)
Some Argon to make a stuff sack and spreader bar sack.
A handfull of scrap fabrics to practice sewing on!

Remember pics or it didn't happen!

All the entries were great and many were thought provoking. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I have. I enjoyed it so much I am going to do another very soon.

Thanks for doing this Dutch! As usual I didn't win anything, but it did get me thinking. Now I have to decide between an integrated budget and a bridge for my next hammock.

YEAHHHHHHHHH!

I'm so excited! Thank you so much Dutch for this incredible opportunity! I'll make the most of it, I promise. I'm looking forward to documenting the learning and building process for all of you to enjoy / comment on / laugh at / help me with.

And thanks to everyone who participated and delivered some very impressive designs. It was a lot of fun watching all of the ideas pour in. I hope you all take the plunge, borrow your grandma's sewing machine, put in an order to Dutch, and build out the project you spent so long thinking about!

Thanks!
