    Aloha from California

    Greetings all, just found this forum in my search for the perfect nights sleep on the trail. I am trying to create a versatile hammock/cot using tensegrity physics. Something between http://www.luxurylite.com/cotindex.html and all the great backpacking hammocks available. I need to go through all the threads here to see if this has already been accomplished. Happy trails all.

    Welcome from the Central Valley! It looks like you might be interested in a bridge hammock rather than the traditional gathered end. Here is a link showing the latest bridge development by fellow forum member, grizzlyadams, who has pioneered the development of the bridge (they call it the grizzbridge ):

    And if you like tensegrity physics, here is a tensegrity hammock stand to help you get your geek on :

    Again, welcome to the forum. I look forward to hearing about your future adventures.
    You're gonna need a bigger hammock
