    yet another Grizz Bridge...the 'Ariel'

    I had a chance to spend a night on the Superior Hiking Trail, and took the opportunity
    to shoot some footage about a few new design features of the always evolving Grizz Bridge.

    The main objective of these techniques has been to 'clean up' the corner of the hammock body
    where the spreader bar meets the suspension.

    Main body of the hammock is 1.6 oz/sq yd HyperD (from RipstopByTheRoll) with
    a fully cord suspension made using 7/64" Amsteel.

    This video is just to introduce the changes, later this summer I intend to make a video
    on the engineering details, which are legion.



    Here's the direct youtube url

    Nice video and congratulations on a thoughtful design that also seems to be successful. Thanks for sharing.
    Crayons - they might look different, but they all taste the same

    It's been a while since I put up a video. The old way of embedding it seems not to work. ?
    'youtube' tag on, youtube video code, 'youtube' tag off. Any pointers on this so I can clean it up?

    'Nice, Grizz! I look forward to the full explication; bring on your legions! But until then, did you sew the amsteel in the channels? Couldn't see.
    I like the Shakespearean names. Better study up with Shug; you've got to crack some yokes to make a Hamlet.

    Thanks for sharing Griz!

    I find it interesting that you are using a binding for your suspension channel. Are you finishing the raw edge of your fabric at all, or leaving it raw before binding?

    Awesome! you're the reason I sleep in a bridge, glad to see you putting up some more content. Been following you for years. I look forward to watching this later.
