    Forgot to mention that it may need a couple of pull outs down at the feet. It's got a 24" box now but I think with a couple pull outs it could get 32"-36". Also laying on your side is nice and comfortable too.
    And! For once I think it will be the first sleeping bag friendly hammock in history.

    Also I forgot to mention that this hammock will have a completely integrated mosquito net when complete.

    The foot suspension technique makes sense to me. It would be virtually impossible to have a calf ridge. Keep up the good work

    Now that there are some images of it I am finally catching on. It does look to have some promise. Good luck.

    Go for it

    If you can achieve the same lay as a JRB bridge without the poles im all in!! Thats my main complaint about bridges is they require poles and they stink for packing purposes, negating one of the main advantages i see of hammocks.

    I wonder if the walls can be shortened by using a cat cut. They seem a little high.

    Yip, already had that in mind. Right now it feels like you're laying in a box.

    Well, maybe I WAS a little dramatic about the mind blowing thing.
