    Towns-End Bridge And Tarp

    Been a while but wanted to give a quick report/update/whatever this is. Spent the last couple of nights car camping with our men’s group from church and wanted to post a couple of pics. Not a lot of details, but I’m using a town’s-end medium bridge w/carbon fiber poles, and a tarp built and used by JustBill as well. Prettt windy last night and about 42 degrees (without windchill). Used a UGQ Zeppelin 20, 3/4 UQ, and a UGQ Bandit 40 TQ. Great hang, great nights rest, and great fishing!

    The tarp fixes to the suspension/ridgeline of the hammock itself, and the spreader bars help keep it opened. The ends of this tarp are Velcro, and can be closed as shown, or opened up and tied back for ventilation. (The wind was fierce here last night, so that wasn’t an issue.) I really am enjoying this tarp as it doesn’t need tie outs and since it attaches to the hammock itself, it moves with the hammock which eliminates the worry of puncturing a tarp.

    Anyhow, just wanted to share a few pics.

    Sorry they are all sideways. I don’t know why that does it or how to fix it. #technologicallychallenged

    Great setup and an awesome mess of fish!

    I like the tarp/sock. On still nights is it stuffy?

    The ends open up and tie back like a Warbonnet Superfly, so not stuffy at all.

    Take me with you! I want to relive that day. That was all amazing!
    Get lost in the woods and find yourself again. A vacation,to me, is working with your hands and surviving because of the fruits of your labor. In the business world I teach;in the natural world I learn.

    I want one of those hammocks. My Ridge Runner shoulder squeeze is making me want to get rid of it. Is the Townes end commercially available?
