For a very long time I wanted to make a bridge hammock. My normal hammocks are fine, but it happened twice that I woke up with a unpleasant feeling from the squeezing on my shoulders. So I wondered if a bridge hammock would be more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Hammock Forums<\/a> are several how to’s on how to make bridge hammocks, but most of them are quite complicated with lots of calculations needed.
\nUntil member “hiking dad” posted 2 video’s of how he made his.
\nIn the same topic<\/a>, but on page 18, another member called ‘snowball’ posted an adjusted and more accurate template in cm’s,
\nWith the help of these 2 templates I finally made mine, successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not showing how I made it, for this please check the video’s from ‘hiking dad’ on the Hammock Forums.
\nAdditionally I made a simple but effective underquilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
