Thanks for the thought. I'm happy to help when I can.
I use one in all seasons and have taken it down to 80F at night with 90% humidity. It was fine, I was hot, but at that temp, I almost don't want to be outside anyway.
It's definitely not simple. But my time in camp is precious. That's where this pays off the most. If I'm day hiking and want to lounge I take my 5oz 9'x4' hammock, if I'm camping, I take a Bonefire™. Cost is high just to get the materials, so, for me, the cost savings is in the absence of fiddle factor and an increase in time asleep because set up time was reduced.
Agreed. Hammocks are usually the cheapest part. The only hammock I've ever had to replace was a 1.1oz fabric SL hammock that I hung too close to a concrete barrier. I climbed in and it sagged until it touched the barrier and tore. I've been very careful ever since.
That looks nice. I'm glad that you went for it. There is a lot to be said about someone giving this a go. A bridge hammock is less complicated, but still difficult and you seem to have done well. There's more insulation on there than I would use, but I'm just a bit more minimalistic. Enjoy the fruit of your labor.
