Thanks Wildman, not sure what the weight limit would be, with the Cuben fiber as support underneath it could be pretty high, up to 300 lbs or so .. I'm 180 so anything 200 or so works for me. I'm doing another one with 1.6 PolyD and 1.0 Cuben now, not for weight bearing but for some added longevity to the rig and to eliminate using a ground cloth. The 1.0 Cuben is a bit more abrasion resistant. Shouldn't add but about 1.5-2 ozs. Cutting out my 4 oz. ground cloth and using the 1.6/1.0 I'm cutting a few more ozs. from the base.
It's always in the details ...
Thanks, weight question replied to above. One of the motivating factors was to get a bridge hammock in the weight category of a gathered end hammock. I really like the lay in a bridge, since using bridges for the past two years (WBRR's) I've grown particularly fond of them, weight was always the limiting factor in carrying one on long hikes.
I see a hammock/chair conversion in your chair design. With you using that pad in your chair, I don't think it would take to much engineering to have a bridge hammock that would configure into a chair such as yours as well..
