First time in a hammock WBRR

**ParaTrees** · 01-27-2015, 04:58

So after hours of HammockForums creeping I finally purchased my first hammock. I forgot one minor detail about sleeping in a hammock. I needed somewhere to hang. After much deliberation the executive decision was made to screw some eyebolts into the studs in the living room. (She didn't even notice). Bam I was Hammocking doing it big right there in the living room. Last night was my first night ever sleeping in a hammock and I don't know if it was the hammock the newcastle or the wood stove but I slept like a rock. Woke up in the exact spot I fell asleep. Didn't toss didn't turn. I'm super happy with my decision on a bridge. I want to try sleeping on by stomach one night but I feel I need less pitch and not sure my walls can take it.

Sounds fantastic! The WBRR is super comfy ain't it!

The irony of your screen name is not lost by the way. That gave me a laugh.

Congrats! I love my bridge hammock. A few extra ounces is totally worth it, IMHO. Still less weight than a tent!

I've been in mine every night for at least 6 months and will never go back to a bed. It's amazing!!!

If there are any parks around where you live, maybe they have a coule of trees you can play with...

Update. I took the 4" section out of the head end and used a pad. Slept on my stomach with no problem. This thing is comfortable.

How did removing the smaller section change your lay? I get that a pad will flatten it out but doesn't removing the 4" section negate that a little? Just curious as I just received my RR. Thanks!

Shortening the head end bar. provides more slack in the bridge. Therefore, lowering your head providing a flatter lay from head to foot. With the 4'' bar in and laying on my stomach i felt like my hips were the lowest part, in my head I would wake up with my back hurting. Removing the 4 inch spacer, laying on stomach feels natural.
