Cold weather test #3

I bet a tarp with 2QZQ Pole Pockets would work well with a bridge hammock. Makes the inside cavernous without requiring the tieouts to be so widely spaced.

That's exactly what I'm looking into. I've never purchased tent poles before, so I'm trying not to buy the wrong stuff. But I've already got the pole-pockets cut out and ready to sew up.

I'd love to know what you end up going with. I have the Pole Pockets already installed by the ZQ, but haven't purchased the poles yet either.

Thanks for the test info.
I'm up here in Canada and many of our outings are in chilly weather.
I haven't got a real hammock made yet.
I hung up and old sleeping bag first by gathering the ends, then again from the corners and I'm tweaking that for fun right now.

Cheers,
