    Air beams

    Any thought of any hammock airbeam mods? Maybe a spreadef bar on a bridge hammock. Or even just instead of poles on a tarp. You can buy them as spares for airbeam tents.

    hmmm.. airbeam bridge? I'm not sure it would be rigid enough, but would love to see it. I've always thought an airbeam perpendicular to the ridge of a tarp would be a nice mod.

    It may need to be 2 airbeams at each end. A short spreader and a longer U beam to help with the compression. But they tend to be very strong.

    Strikes me to be a good way also of forming an arch on a tarp to give side clearance for a bridge hammock.
