    10 minute no sewing bridge hammock

    After going down the rabbit hole of bridge hammocks and being a little miffed at affordable choices over here in the U.K I took a trip in the woods to knock up one on the fly with minimal kit. It actually turned out really well and I have since downloaded plans and bought the kit for a "hiking dad" hammock, just need to learn to sew now.

    Let me know what you think.

    Very clever! Sort of a gathered end/bridge hybrid? Long term, how has it held up to normal wear and tear?
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.
