Guys and Gals!
There is a new hammock design in town! Check this out http://www.australianheritagefleet.c...v/Hammock.html ! I just got this from yahoo!hammock camping group. Quite intersting idea. Will somebody try this concept? I am currently on another project (hammock stand) so i could not spare some time on it. A report would be nice too!
It would be nice if somebody can come with the idea how to put a bugnet on it!

Guys and Gals!

here's
their version with bug netting.
yeah, i'm guessing that's where the idea originated for them. we talked about the hammock on that link awhile back.
I too will something make and joy in it's making
yeah, the similarity is uncannily similar...Brandon
The JRB version appears to sag in the middle. I dont think it is similar to the ausie hammock.
the jrb, the australian one and the bat hammock are all based on very similar concepts. it sounded like jrb had started the patent process, of course this may be just to protect themselves from tom. it will be interesting to see if this new style takes off. by the way the jrb had a very very slight concave...Brandon
It would be interesting to see what they are patenting if they are. It would be difficult to patent the basic idea since that's been in the public domain for several years. Maybe the bug netting arrangement. If they get a patent on that then maybe they can build a patent portfolio and sign a cross patent license with Hennessy.
the whole idea is the same concept as the suspension bridge, which is why jrb calls it the "bear mtn bridge hammock" i'm sure jrb wouldn't patent an existing design to keep others from making it. i hope not anyways...Brandon
Im really curious about this claim that a no-sag Hammock is much comfortable to an HH, Speer, or claytor? Anyone tried the JRB hammock yet? How does it feel? I hope nobody patents this concept or has JRB done it already?
check out this thread to hear from 2 or 3 people that tried out the new JRB hammock.

from what i remember the jacks saying about the patent, they aren't concerned at all about some of the DIY people making one. matter a fact they said that would just allow more people to see it & maybe they would just want to buy one. kinda like advertisement. ...tim
