    Question New bridge, interesting ideas. What does Just Bill think?

    I ran across this

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...nts/haven-tent

    Having enjoyed and learned from Just Bill's posts, I simply had to ask for his take on it.

    The basic idea seems to be a very low hanging bridge hammock with the resulting shoulder squeeze mitigated by an inflatable pad that presumably also insulates. I'd like to hear what Bill and others think.

    Thank you for the pointer. I see that Bill posted exactly the technical analysis I was hoping for, and more. In particular I was wondering about the compression load on the spreader bars.

    I have a Hennessy GE and a recently acquired HammockTent 90 degree that I find far more comfortable. I've been following the likes of Bill and Griz, etc. to learn about bridge hammocks.

    Many thanks to everyone here for all the great info.
