    Sounds crazy but is there a hammock foot rest design?

    I am looking for a footrest design when using the hammock as a chair.

    Gargoyle (I believe) used to sell one.

    Probably a thread about it somewhere around here. You can get ideas from that.

    Here ya go. I actually have one but never used it as a foot rest but instead put it on my hammock ridgeline and use it as a mini gear hammock, so it's multi=purpose item.
    Good luck,

    I was thinking about a head rest too. Most hammocks are comfortable but without the attached bugnet like the WBBB you are pretty much laying flat. I am sure somewhere in this forum it has been done. Of course this may not be for the ultra light crowd but would be light enough to carry. Zing it and 1.0 hyper d should do the trick with some grosgain sewn at attachment points.

    I know it looks like a canoe but it gets the idea across.

    I have seen someone just use a line with nothing sewn on it.
