    There have been some very tense threads lately (one started by this very OP) about vendors and patents. It's best to not breach that again for a while.

    Shoulder squeeze if you don't use a spreader bar at the head end. Slowhike's hammock if you do (almost).

    No, it's just whatever the name is with "spreader bar" added to the end of it. ie; SlowHikes hammock is a Gathered End Hammock with a spreader bar.

    Can't wait to see it!

    Doesn't sound like a "vapor" or "lunch meat" to me.

    So I'm getting there....So far though I've accomplished a completely flat lay with minimal squeeze. But it needs more tweaking. Thank the Lord for $1.50 per yard "Fabric of unknown origin."

    Watch for a HUGE sale on tiny string bags when this is all over.



    Here is the head end. It's a conventional gathered end. Lousy nylon I'm using for this experiment and it's just all thrown together.
