Lastly, let me say that with Luke's encouragement I took my thoughts/modifications to a major hammock vendor. The hammock is a different niche market than Luke's ultra light backpacking niche. Unfortunately, the vendor has been so busy that it has taken MONTHS before he was able to investigate the design. The good news is that now that the vendor has had a chance to give it a go, they are sufficiently interested to the point that I have been asked not to disclose what I have been working on to others. On the downside, they also said it might take up to a couple of years before a production model was sufficiently ready for introduction....bummer. And that it is possible the vendor may decide in the end that they won't go with it...bigger bummer. So patience is the key and modus operandi.
