    My New Bridge Hammock

    Just finished the bug netting tonight.... it was a process, but I eventually got there

    54" hammock width at foot and head ends with a 6" curve cut. 36" spreader bars on both ends and an integrated bug net. I can't wait to really test this outside so glad to be done!

    Looks awesome!... I don't have a bridge yet. What are the dimensions on the suspension triangle?
    .... the Aardvark (earth pig)... a rather unremarkable creature whose sole claim to fame is that it is the first animal listed in the dictionary.

    I can't tell if its white shock cord you have or regular cord holding the bugnet but a little caution. I had the tabs rip off on a bridge I made and didn't use some shock cord. Set up was the same as yours with out the external ridgeline.

    Great job! Testing it out is a good excuse to hit the trail.
