My son, Scott, has been wanting a bridge hammock for a while now. We finally got some supplies: Dutch hardware for the corners; Quest Outfitters for spreader bars; I had some 1.6 ACU camo in the closet. I watched BIC's videos and also watched Grizz's videos again before starting in. I got more practice with a seam ripper than I would have liked, and also had a couple of thread injector issues, but after a bit we ended up with a hammock. I added some pockets on the end caps for glasses, headlamps, books, etc. Bug net will probably be done later.
Today we got it out and put it between the willow oaks that are our official hammock testing station. It lays well. I'm not a prophet but I foresee many nice naps and good nights in the woods for this one. I cut out two while I was at it, so there is a twin awaiting in the near future.
Judging by Scott's reaction, it looks like a success.
Would not have done this without the information and inspiration of folks on HF.
