correct suspension angles for JRB and other bridge hammocks?

[Loki]

hmmm, I have never measured the distance end to end before, maybe that will give me an idea on the right angle I should be at

Just chiming in fwiw.
I use 13'3" as a RL distance (in the ultimate hang calculator) for my wbrr and a 25* angle or less (average the results from 20 and 30 degrees). This gives me the correct strap height and suspension length for a comfy hang with the wbrr- which I use fulltime at home too.

For the bmbh (a deluxe 2012 model) I follow the jacks instructions as stated above. .. pull until the netting begins to tighten- then back off a bit.

Tried adding ridgelines outside the netting on both and removed them both after a few nights...the RLs were convenient before zipping up the netting; but did not add any quality to the lay that I could notice.

OK, with the WBRR calling for about 25*, I'm starting to think that bridges in general do well with a slightly tighter hang than non-bridge hammocks.

This what I've found on my DIY bridge hammocks based on the Grizz-bridge videos.

Also for bridge hammocks in general, you want to hang the head end higher than the foot end, so that when laying it, you more or less come out lying level. Your torso weighs more than your legs.

keep up all the good info on bridge hammocks. I have picked up some good pointers

That's what I have, and that's exactly how I set it up every time...
