    New design maybe?

    Here's an idea we're currently working on. I call this our Nesting Pair. Individual Raven hammocks zipped together to form a complete 2 person hammock with bug net. The hammock bodies are zipped together as well as the 2 bug nets. The area between the hammocks is open allow the 2 occupants to reach each other. When a 2 person hammock isn't needed, simply unzip them apart and they become 2 individual Raven hammocks again.

    More details to follow as we get the design more final.

    Sounds like a great idea. Do you need extra reinforcement along the zipper to withstand the stress of the occupants moving around? Is it even necessary?

    So far in our tests we've not seen any add'l stress on the zippers.

    Very cool, thinking outside the box again, I like it

    It's not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body,
    But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting,
    Woo Hoo!....What a Ride!

    Will it work if each person lays differently? i.e.- one person is left lay and the other right.

    No, not comfortably.
    Both users laying the same way with their heads at the same end seemed to work the best for our initial testing.
