I'm relatively new to the DIY hammock process, but I'm wondering about the following mod on on the bridge made by Bic all that time ago.

My thought it to make the foot end just a bit more flat to reduce the tendency for the feet to squash together, something I have with my WBBB - and can live with but if I'm making my own bridge it's worth exploring all the options.

Supposing one or both ends of the Bic bridge pattern are sewn perpendicular? (and the excess trimmed off post-sewing) I ran off a mini to demonstrate my idea:

- Would this make an appreciable difference in whether my feet are pushed together when in the hammock?
- Would this cause additional stress on the fabric? I'm using the 1.8 AirWave that comes from the RBTR kit, but have the 1.0 HyperD to use if possible.
- What other considerations do I need to take into account if testing myself? e.g., spreader width, etc.

Thanks so much for your help!
