ok i have a .mosquito hammock from http://www.mosquitohammock.com/
could i add the JRB Replacement Spreader Bar (single bar) to both ends and make it into a true lay flat hammock?
if so what is the best way to add them?
it is the thick webbing tree safe Suspension system
To get a flat lay via spreader bars your hammock has to be engineeredQuote:

Some people use a spreader bar at the head end of a gathered end hammock to make it a little wider around the head and shoulders, but that doesn't make a flat lay.
i was just reading though

your post on bridge hammocks
is there a way to re engineer or redesign it?
if i had both of the bars could i tie or rigs the ends to make it happen?
or buy another hammock? i would like to be able to sleep on my stomach:shades:
The challenge with modding your hammock is doing so and keeping the bugnet.Quote:

Of course, in trying one might turn a perfectly useable hammock into a perfectly unuseable one :scared:
People do sell used JRB BMBH hammocks here. Sometimes they sell ones I've built for them (but I like to think they stay put with loving owners).
yea i may have to get myself a http://www.jacksrbetter.com/BMBH.htm :)Quote:
