1/2 UQ for Bridge and Clark hammocks

[hangnout]

I'll try and find your post on making your double bridge. How wide of a pad were you using under your legs?

I am using a 20" wide pad. The last time out I used a cut down Zrest for the leg area. When I tested in single digits I used a short ridgerest. Both layers on my bridge are used for support. I just sewed the long edges together and left both ends open.

Great stuff !

I was thinking of making down pillows to stuff down the pockets
of my Clark NA.

But im skipping that after i read this thread.

I would love to do it myself, but it´s a hassel to get all the materiel here
in Sweden

So i have to import:
For instance i bought 6 1" cinch buckle from On Rope 1,
ended up costing 7$ each

So im letting thepreacherswife do this for me

I think, im gonna use T-bars with elastics sawn to UQ instead of shock cord.
Clark Na has 3 or 4 tabs on each side.
I recon that would do the job of snugging it up against the hammock.

Thank´s for a very inspiring job !

I would consider a higher attaching point. It is easier to position the 1/2 UQ and get it to seal against the hammock. I actually pull one side a little above the edge of the hammock to cover my shoulder when I lay asym in the clark.

I ended up making a second 1/2 UQ a little bigger for the Clark after using this one a couple nights. The link about that one is below

Not quite.... Jacks R Better LLC has shipped to over fifteen foreign countries... Infact, JRB recently had to file government forms on our economic impact as Manufacturer.... Working hard to off set The US balance of trade deficit.

Moski, there is no need to spend that much. I sent you a pm.

So do you have problems with your legs getting cold? That looks like a really cool idea except I know nothing about sewing. I have an Exped 7 Deluxe I plan to use for cold weather but that would weigh a hell of a lot less. Would be a nice option to add to the bag of tricks.

I use a short leg size pad that I carried already for the legs. Since the pad is only under the legs it is easy to control. This combo works well for me.
