For those of you asking about bridge hammocks, seems to play well with the Warbonnet RidgeRunner.

With details on how I attached it. Straight out of the box from Warbonnet

Looped the short continuous loop over the head apex

And looped the suspension triangle over the foot apex and then wrapped one turn around a apex poles each side to tighten it.

I did use both a head and foot tether, it makes entry more stable. The head tether (extra one) does not hold any tension when you are lying in the hammock. The bridge hammock just acts like a gathered end hammock without a ridgeline on entry - even though I had a ridgeline on.

Might as well ask you publicly even though we're in cahoots, and I'll shortly get to investigate myself: do you reckon that a modest counterweight on head apex will serve as well as a 2nd guyline?

Now you have my attention.

My stand came in today and I set it up for about five minutes. Figured out that the orange cord is for the base line, the black is ridge line and the mixed is the guy line but not sure what the big hollow metal piece on the guy line is for.

It's a toggle. You can use it, for instance, to anchor to a lower door hinge without interfering with the use of the door: the tubing segment won't pull through the gap between door and frame. Or you can use it to attach to the closed loop of the bundled Orange Screw, like so:

Thanks for the info.
About how wide should I have the baseline for a 11’ hammock?

That's up to you: too narrow and you might sit too high, or have head/feet clearance issues with the poles. Too wide and you'll sit lower than you like. About 5' is a good starting point for dialing in.

Not sure. The bridge acts like a gathered end hammock without a ridgeline on the Tensa4. Stable when settled, but squirrelly on entering. I was more interested in getting the WB RR to work than dialing in all the subtleties. Do note that I did have the Tensa4 ridgeline in place while doing this. I just think a gathered end sags lower and therefore has a lower CG. The second guyline stabilized the entry nicely. The second guyline was supposed to be loose enough that when in I was only on one anchor. Not sure by the pictures if that is what really happened.

Will then Tensa4 work with a 12' tarp?

How stable is it? Will it work in harsh windy conditions? Say on top of a small mountain in the winter north of the arctic circle?
