Hi all
Winter time, so I thought to hell with it.
Made a bivi for my favourite hammock.
My great inspiration was Lost_Biker with his Gore-Tex Super Winter Sock.
It has assymetrical design so it should fit perfectly WBBB Blackbird type hammock, though I use my own design.
It looks like a little boat and still needs some work with tension, but let's say it's a work in progress.
For fabric I used something cheap breathing waterproof fabric from local factory. Bivi weighs about 1,2 kg though I haven't weighted it yet. Going to do a two-night test, so, on Sunday i'll be back to tell if I survived.
It came a little bit too tight underneath but it's tolerable. Though it means if I'm to use UQ it should be placed under bivi...
Fortunately I don't have any winter qualifying UQ-s and my hammock has a pocket for sleeping pad.
Here are the pictures:
And the measurements:
Just saying, if You are about to make Your own by there measurements, I advise to act by your hammock measurements.
My hammock's body is 3,3 meters long and ridgeline is 2,9 meters. Based on these measurements I cut out Bivi with a little extra, though it seems the hanging fabric should have been done with more extra length.
Hope You'll Enjoy, I will
