    Bridge Hammock

    Anybody ever dream about a Dutch bridge hammock? What features would it have?

    For me it would be wider in the middle and foot than my RR.

    I'd like to see the middle wider and a way to use my HangTimeHook in my Ridgerunner otherwise it's a hard hammock to beat.

    I’d like to see it adaptable for hiking poles without extra hardware.

    And a fridge or freezer.

    How about spreader bar/pole tips that won't punch through a taught tarp.

    How about compatibility with most of the Chameleon options n accessories.

    How about a minimum tree distance closer to 12'.

    Hmmm-m...

    Honestly, I'd like to simply see a Cowboy Rope Bridge Hammock (CRBH) mass produced and available with some sort of a full bugnet option, ideally without using zippers. The CRBH is great and has just a little more width than a RR, as well as a shorter apex distance on the triangles allowing for closer trees.

    The red hammock near the end of this thread is one that Kitsacowboy made that I bought. It's very nice, I just need to figure out a full bugnet (vs. the half net it came with).

    I want it to be elevated with magnets and luminescent fabric that turns one and off with telekinesis.


    Or how about one that folds up into a full backpack.

    Whenever I'm camping on Porcupine Lake I always think, hmmm Dutch was here at one time with the weird bridge pack hammock thing.

    Name it the Betsy Ross Bridge Hammock as an homage to the amazing seamstresses and seamsters who bring us such incredible Dutchy goodness.

    If you can't sew one...
    The bug nets I make for my Luxury/Big Guy model would potentially fit if you used a ridgeline (bottom entry fronkey style).
    I'm not familiar enough with his bridge to say for sure but if you wanted to try it shoot me an email and I can have you pull a few dimensions to see if it's close enough.
