Hanging stuff on ridgelines

[2nd Breakfast]

Hanging stuff from the Structural RL is fine as long as the weight on there is not super crazy....like many multiple pounds. For things that would fit in your RL organizer are fine, head lamp, glasses, and so on are not going to be enough to affect the RL and your hang in any way. Load it up with your Kettle bell set and it might start affecting your hang.

Thanks Paul! I was actually just looking at your ridgeline organizers this morning!

I would put myself in the inspector gadget category. My current organizer is a 4 pocket, 1/2 mesh, 1/2 fabric one from 2QZQ. It's home to my glasses, phone, camera, snack (winter only), socks, book/journal, etc. Hanging on the ridgeline next to it is my mini-led light, headlamp on a 'biner and my watch (band removed)/accurite temp gauge taped together and hung on a piece of shockcord.

It's not pretty, but it works for me and makes me happy.

I have an organizer hanging on my structural ridgeline. It holds my cell phone, battery charger, mini-fan, bug spray, lipgloss, & eno twinkle light battery.

Also from the ridge line, I hang my mini-water bottle, head lamp, buff (when not in use), ear plugs (when not in use) & depending on the season socks/shoes/boots.

I MOVE into my hammock!

Haha. I bet it feels really homey and cozy! Do you have the ENO twinklelights on your ridgeline too?

Thermometer that hangs from the pack during the day, headlamp Prussik style, glasses in a soft cloth pouch. Everything else goes in the WBBB side flap.

Yes, They are new to me. Only gotten to use them about 3 times now. Love them so far!

What do you guys do about stuff sliding down the ridgeline? Or is that not a problem? I have a few heavier items that tend to migrate. I hang my headlamp, water, thermometer, animal discouragement, socks, shoes, etc. No ridgeline organizer yet, but I've got a pattern I drew up that I hope to make in the next two weeks.

Well let me see...

From left to right;

(out of picture, hanging on suspension) two stuff sacks from backpack, food and clothes
Prusik for underquilt suspension
hammock stuffsack/peak bag with spare night clothes
water bottle
Lucie light
Thermos of coffee
DIY noseeum RLO, 4 side pockets and central stuffsack (hats, gloves, etc)
hiking shoes
wet socks
waterproofs
Prusik for underquilt suspension
empty backpack (on suspension line)

Pieces of cord, prusiked onto the SRL will stop things sliding about.

Looks like you've got some really heavy stuff on your line. Why wouldn't you want to set some of that on the ground?
