    Bridge hammock makers?

    Does anyone on the forums sell diy bridge hammocks or kits. I know Opie was making then for awhile but has more pressing family maters. Not looking for a WBRR or Jacks R Better as I've owned them previously. I have no thread injector skills or time and could never make one ;-( Thanks

    I know Hikerdad did a video a while back, unsure if he makes them for people though.

    I think he changed his forum name too, but can't remember it. Opie makes good stuff too!

    Bic is what Hikerdad now goes by. I'm pretty sure GrizzlyAdams has made them for other people in the past, not sure about currently. I'm going to be making my first one in the near future. If it turns out well I would be willing to make something for someone else.

    I just made a Bridge Hammock, straight forward, I followed BIC (Also known as Big White Bear & Hiking Dad) video's I am pleased with the finished project.

    I found the build to be easy enough, however if you do not have any sewing skills, building a Bridge Hammock would not be a first project, so your idea of commissioning someone to build one for your specifications is wise.

    Since I am short, I made a short Bridge Hammock, I really like it because I have excellent visibility, the hammock does not require such a huge distance between trees, which translates to I have a wider selection of places to hang and less weight. I had a Bear Mountain, I had a limited view from it, I tried a Ridgerunner, way too long between trees, difficult to find a place suitable. My DIY is perfect for size and weight wise. My daughter is about the same size, she hates my bridge. Besure you really like Bridge Hammocks before you commission someone to build one for you.

    I am sure there are several member's who would be happy to do a build for you.

    I was lucky enough to get a Grizz Bridge from ol' Grizz himself. It is my favorite bridge.
