    DIY standard hammock, bridge hammock, and tarp with doors

    Some time ago I ordered some lightweight materials at ripstopbytheroll.com.
    I wanted to replace my old diy hammocks and tarp from heavy ripstop nylon, with some newer and lighter materials.
    Here are the results, the specs and the making of for those who are interested.


    Standard hammock



    - Fabric 1.0 oz Hyper D ripstop nylon
    - The hammock weighs 187 grams
    - Complete with suspension and treehuggers it weighs 383 grams.

    Bridge hammock



    This is based on the original design by 'hikingdad' which was then modified by 'snowball' and finally some mods of my own.
    - Fabric 1.0 oz Hyper D ripstop nylon
    - hammock body 163 gram
    - suspension 77 gram
    - spreaderbars 673 gram
    - The making of: https://youtu.be/93QKSVJonHY


    Tarp with doors and side pullouts



    - Material 1.1 oz silpoly
    - Ridgline length 3.80 meters
    - Width 3.00 meters
    - Stuffsack weighs 9 gram
    - Tarp without suspension 564 grams
    - The making of: https://youtu.be/V7zDPLPExxc

    Talk about ambitious! Any one of those projects would be impressive. All three together is mind numbing. I'm curious about the bridge. Mine is made of 1.9 oz fabric. I weigh about 160 and I can feel it stretch. How stretchy or strong is that 1.0 fabric? Just curious.
    Cheers.
