Well I just tried something a little different.
Another conversion if you will.
I was looking at my claytor expedition hammock and how the webbing/rope can feed through the ends. I decided to try it on the Bridge.
The outer two lines are the original suspension, the inner two are the newly added through a quickly sewn loop.
What I am trying to accomplish is getting the benefit of a regular hammock for just relaxing. I like having my upper torso curved upward like that to just relax. So this is a wide view of how this might work.
So here I am in it with it in this 'mode'
All I did was have some cord go through the loop like the mosquito hammock
That line just goes to the ring/buckle as well. To 'revert' back to the Bridge just unclip/untie from the buckle and put the spreader bar back in.
I tried a few different configurations before having to come in (and hearing my temporary stitching start to come out!) and I think there is potential here, but there is noticeable shoulder squeeze. I might be able to loosen those edges by just making the loop in the middle and not all the way to the ends, but it would have to be STRONG.
