I finished my bridge hammock yesterday and tried it out indoors last night. I can't say I slept any better than I typically do in my bed, but I was expecting there to be trade-offs. Part of the...

Here's mine, just finished yesterday:
115556
115557.

Both ends are open on mine, since the idea here is to possibly use this as an indoor, year-round hammock for full-time sleeping. Began...

Thanks for the clarification, GrizzlyAdams. So, bias tape across the head/foot ends and webbing--like in Refreshing's design--along the long edges, right?

Thanks much for the reply, GrizzlyAdams. That picture shows pretty much exactly what I'd like to do, though I'd probably end up hanging from walls rather than using a frame. Still food good for...

Thanks for the replies, gargoyle and V_Allen. This is an experiment I would first try on just myself, gargoyle, so I'm not envisioning a 2-person bridge hammock. If my tests prove successful, I'd...

I've been hanging recreationally for a couple of years now. No overnights or camping trips--just getting out into nature during the day and relaxing in a nice spot. The wife and I have really been...

My weight is right around 200, give or take, raftingtigger. The wife, who may end up sleeping in a separate such hammock if my tests prove successful, is about 60 lbs lighter. I know I could use...

I'm glad I ran across this thread. The wife and I have been doing some recreational hanging for the past couple of summers, and I've recently begun contemplating trying to sleep in a hammock indoors....

I'm in my second year of experimenting with hammocks. The wife is not a fan of camping, but she's become really fond of taking a nap in the hammocks we're experimenting with. So I'm making some...

Ok, Lesson one of who knows how many yet to come. A bridge hammock, which has been mentioned above (but which, prior to some research I did today, I did not really know what it was) looks like a much...

I have no advice because I haven't tried sleeping in a hammock since I was probably 12 years old (well back into the latter part of the previous millenium!). Yeah, I'm really new to this forum. But I...

Yeah, it dawned on me after I made my last post that the added rigging at the ends of the hammock would likely be needed so as to find the right tension adjustment. I also had considered that setting...

Yikes, it looks like my thread is well on its way to Cuba! I'm probably dating myself there: don't hijackers these days demand other destinations? Last one I heard of was to Sochi. Anyway, to get us...

Thanks for the informative answers to my post thus far. To offer a couple of answers, I am the more accomplished seamster in our family and have considered making my own hammock: I'll be looking at...

I have not tried sleeping in a hammock for decades but, in light of some recent research and reasoning, have decided I want to try it out anew. One of my hopes is that I will be able to use a hammock...

Thanks! We've ridden to and around Monroe a couple of times now. Try some of those hills on a bicycle: most folks will never make another unmotorized attempt!

Thanks for the welcome, fellow Milwaukeean! I don't see any sign of the forum you've mentioned: I suppose it's not even visible if one hasn't made a donation? Doesn't seem like a very wise decision...

Hello all:

I came across hammocking quite by accident recently: I spotted an ad on craigslist that looked interesting and followed it up with some research. Anyway, I've now become intrigued.
