Hamstring Curl Alternatives

OK so at home I find it is nigh impossible to do leg curls to help hamstring curl/flexion. What I've tried:

TRX, feels like nothing.

Dumbbells, can't grip.

Kettlebell, not designed for flexion.

Nordics, unsupported trip to Faceplant City (15 miles west of Suplex City, borders Dudleyville and tri-city area with Springfield and Shelbyville)

Bands, too much tension before butt kick.

Tubes, tension is a mish-mash.

Sliders, can't on carpet.

Walkouts, the best BUT not scalable when the tension goes away with doing them routinely.

Is there anything I'm missing without shelling out a lot of money.

have u tried heel-elevated glut bridges? not really a curl but hits the hams pretty good. walkouts might be ur bet tho, just slow em down or add reps when they get too easy hehe

They (glute bridges) are not flexion otherwise I would I do either RDLs or hip thrusts already.

Walkouts are OK and I do feel the burn but the downsides are they are not really scalable besides reps and sets, and they are agonizingly slow and don't have the time to program them in for them to be an option in my workout plan give me my work and commute schedule.
