    I keep hoping that one of the cottage industry guys will pick up the design and put me out of business!

    Until they do, I make them as I can, subject to a demanding day job and fun with family. Worth the wait? Hope so...I'm not hanging out an Internet shingle and website, but I'm happy to talk with anyone who wants a custom job and isn't in a rush.

    No notable tippiness increase. I kept the rings and straps attached to the hammock body and the center ring at the top of the suspension triangle. I cut off the webbing from the center top ring that was designed to go to the tree and replaced that with a whoopee sling. I girth hitched the fixed eye end of the whoopiesling to the top center ring and then have the adjustable end up at the toggle that is marlin spike hitched into my 1" tree strap. I use Dutch clips on that strap.

    Oh thank goodness! Can I finally talk about it?
    Start saving your pennies kids, warbonnetguy figured-out a really cool bridge hammock with not one, but two, totally neato features. I've seen it, I like it!

    No loose lips. Wouldn't do any good anyway cause he changes designs as often as I change socks. What I saw will only sort of resemble whatever he puts out there, trust me.
    Still, it's got goodies for sure!

    It would've been better if you hadn't mentioned you were making a bridge and suprised us when it was ready
    Now I just have to eagerly wait to see what you come up with while I slowly save my pennies. I love bridge hammocks, just have never found GEH to be as comfortable
