An honest first look at the Onewind Bridge Hammock!

Hello lovely people!!!
Blimey this video has been a long time in the making thanks to my flipping Sciatica!
So ‪@OnewindOutdoors‬ have been incredibly patient with me, waiting for my thoughts on this hammock. I was asked to give them some honest feedback on this product which is exactly what I have done.
I know some people think that once someone is working with a company that we will always lie about products and say they are good even if they are not....
Hopefully from this video you will see that I give my honest opinion and hopefully helpful feedback to Onewind on what works and what doesn't. What I love about working with Onewind is that they want this feedback, they want to know when something doesn't work and why and will use it to improve future models.
If you are interested in checking out this product then please use my affiliate links below and I will make a little bit of commission from each sale made. You can also use my discount code of KARENSGONEWILD for a 5% discount.

I hope you enjoy this little look at this hammock and if you have any suggestions for me on how to make this work I would love to hear them in the comments! Like I said in the video I am well aware that I am far from being an expert so some of the issues I experienced may be due to my own lack of knowledge.
Thanks again to everyone at Onewind for sticking with me while I have been unable to produce content but hopefully I am starting to get back to being able to do at least some videos now.
Lots of love
Karen 💕🦄

Thank you for your honest review Karen such a delightful soul bless

Laughed at Kent survivals Andy,, his hammock tent thingy hanging from a tree limb, over a incline.. his first roost attempt, he fell into the thing and let out a hilarious belly laugh. As the thing gobbled him up!😅😅😅😅

[@ksgonewild]

Haha! I’ve not seen that one will have to have to a look! Love Andy 🥰🥰

[@Rossbott1964]

I must say you got into your hammock very elegantly!! 😁

[@ksgonewild]

Haha why thank you! 😂🤣😂

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

I have the same hammock and I get on ok with it. Only real downside I have found is its a bugger to fit the underblanket. So I just use this one in the summer.

[@ksgonewild]

Oh really? Honestly I’d love to understand how you’re meant to set up, I even see n struggled with the strap around smaller trees, it’s like they have to be the perfect girth (lol!) I just don’t get it lol! I’m glad you like it though! 🥰

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

@@ksgonewild Standard straps are too small, I use my normal hammock ones. I also find that I have to hang the foot end higher than I normally would, otherwise I wake up in a ball in the middle of the hammock.

[@ShazBookOwl]

Thanks for an honest review... the best kind really. I was wondering if you have to 'thread' the hammock in at the ends of the bug netting... but I couldn't tell if there was a zipper - e.g. you mentioned not understanding how you then get in and out of it. Am also a big NO to the bugs - so that bit is quite important to us bug averse... I do have a hammock that I love - and the bug net is attached, then zipper at the side for entry... Thanks for sharing - Love your work Cheers.

[@ksgonewild]

Thank you so much, I’m hoping Onewind appreciate my honesty lol! 😬 There was no zip on the bug net at all and no clear place to thread anything in…. The whole thing left me confused lol! Xx

[@outdoor-suedost]

Hi Karen! Doesn't look that easy for pitching and using😂, but finally you made a good job👌! I think the other one (wind😉) is better by far. Thanks for reviewing and as always all the very best from Austria 🤠👍🏕🔥

[@ksgonewild]

@@outdoor-suedost awww thank you Bernie! Yes the other one is waaaay better 😂🤣😂

[@theMisadventuresofaLittleWolf]

i love mine, i find it very comfy i also use different straps. and i raise the head end more than i would with a standard hammock.And i shortened the foot end rope. i hadno issue with the bug net, it was easy to fit and it worked.

[@ksgonewild]

Ahhhhh see! Right, when we come to Scotland you need to use it and show me where on earth was going wrong lol! 😂

Nice try but it’s defo not perfect, ditch half the cordage and use the original straps with cinch buckles both ends Tension on the fabric at the head end is way too much not sure how long that will last 🤷‍♂️ mk 2 ?

@@southcoastoutdoorsuk6301 definitely needs a rethink for sure. I’m hoping they take this on board and look at it again. 🥰

[@Soggz7785]

I tried hammock camping. I don’t get on with it, I can’t get comfortable. It’s not normal for a human to sleep hanging in trees. A platform in a tree, fine, but to be lead bent like a banana? Show me in nature, where that is natural. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@ksgonewild]

I was extremely dubious and expected to hate sleeping in a hammock and for it to hurt my back…… I absolutely love it and it’s the best nights sleep I ever have camping! My other OneWind hammock is absolutely awesome and you can sleep almost diagonally in so you’re basically flat. I love it! This one? Me no likey! 😂🤣😂🤣

[@whatsnottohike]

I'll be honest, I just don't see the point in this hammock. It's like trying to reinvent the wheel. DD travel hammock, one wind normal hammock and those Amok ones are all you need in a hammock. This one feels a bit prototypey to me, like half an idea that had been rolled out. But what I did learn is next time I'm in the woods setting up one, I'll dig out my mini skirt 🤣

[@ksgonewild]

Yep I absolutely think you should! Sooooo practical! 😂🤣😂

It's not your fault. That's the worst hammock design I've ever seen. Have a look at DD Hammocks, Frontline with built in bug net also see "Tree Hugger" (straps) and whoopie slings (adjustable method of attaching the hammock to the tree hugger straps.)

Thank you lovely, my other Onewind hammock is just awesome, they need to stick with that one lol! Thanks for the advice! Xx
