I use the Warbonnet Ridgerunner, it's very light and a doddle to put up. You have to go direct to them in the US but it’s well worth it IMO. You need a big tarp to cover OK and give you enough room. The Cloudburst is built for the job and also very light. I’m intending to get myself one in Jan, if you’d like to go the same root we could share the postage. PM me if you’re interested.

It was a great nights sleep as you can imagine I was reluctant to admit it to him

I know what a bridge hammock is, but what does "buy" mean? It can't have the usual meaning as it comes from the Rodent.

He never has them ... I tried several times before i went to the US, other have found the same problem.

 

[dave53]

I just made my own version.... it can also be used as a "stretcher bed".

Made one for a mate too

Not quite a bridge as yours has a longitudinal curve to it due to the sewn in ends. I think to be a true bridge and give you a flat lay the material has to hang in a U shape. Looks nifty though. Do you notice the curve at all?

I did say "My Version"
What curve?
It actually feels very flat in use and I can lie on my side very comfortably and even on my belly if I pitch it very tight and it is still far from tippy!
