Two person hammock?

[1bigpaddle]

I have to agree, having two seperate hammocks just hanging next to each other is probably the safest and most comfortable way to go. I was also toying this different shapes and designs so my wife and I could hang together. However, we would have had to lay in 2 different diagnals to get flat, otherwise we were bumping into each other all night, and not in a good way!

What if you used some sort of closed foam pad instead of spreader bars on a bridge hammock? You build the padding/underinsulation into the system, and save on the weight of the bars?

I think you would have better luck starting with a bridge hammock design. The problem with a two person gathered end hammock is that in order to be comfortable one has to lay on the diagonal - that gets complicated for two people.

But, I always say, never let anyone tell you "it can't be done "

+1 on this..

I think at that point it might be lighter to try and build a portaledge. Which I've thought about, but seems like more trouble, and money, then It's worth.

Ive slept comfortable with two people in my skeeter beeter pro, she was taller than me and we were close but we were comfortable and laid at an angle with no problem
