    BMBH Pictures?

    Hi there, I've been lurking for a little while now absorbing all the great information here but this is my first post.

    I've been enjoying regular Mayan style hammocks for a few years now but these are not exactly practical for backpacking. I am considering a BMBH and I was hoping that I could get some more pictures of people actually using the hammock. All pictures will be appreciated, but if anyone has pictures of someone laying in the BMB on their side that would be great.

    I checked the gallery and the JRB website and there really aren't too many pictures of people laying in the BMBH so hopefully this thread will be useful to others as well.

    Thanks,

    Sean

    Would I be better off just emailing Jacks R Better directly?

    There are a few BMBH pictures in the various threads about it, such as this one. But, by and large, you're right that there aren't many pictures of it.

    Sorry that you haven't gotten a better response.

    I have a BMBH but dont know how to add pics to this site. Nor do I really care to learn. Sorry. Anyway maybe if you just ask the questions you would want to learn by looking at a picture I, and others, could answer them for you

    @ angrysparrow; thanks, the pictures in that thread do help a bit.

    I tend to sleep on my side with my knees pulled up a bit so I wanted to get an idea of how much room there was before my knees would run into the side. Also, I wanted to see how far down in the hammock you are when laying on the side. I was worried that when in this position part of my body would be above the edge of the hammock which I would think would make the hammock a bit unstable.

    I set up my BMBH over a stream today. First time, was a bit nervous, but no splashy-splashy. Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-F5NUIbRfo

    Also some pictures here: http://svenofuch.blogspot.com/

    And yes, it's all swedish. I don't care to translate it.

    I had two pics from last summer, before I switched out the suspension.
