I drive from Southern California twice a year to hang in the BW. By far my favorite place on earth!
On my first night of a fall trip to Sylvania Wilderness area I was zipping my RR bug net closed while sitting inside of it. As I worked zipper around right corner of foot box the bug net ripped. It...
I bought my poles from WB. They have pictures on the site of SF with external pole mods. I was just curious why they don’t sell them anymore.
A friend of mine purchased a custom 13’ Superfly last year. It has the side pullouts but he didn’t buy the 2 external poles. After seeing mine on a camping trip last week he wants to purchase them...
Thanks! I have the rubber covers on the metal clips and I noticed on my spring trip that they had failed. This looks like a good fix without having to change suspension.
This question is meant for Trailslugs bumpers
I have an older RR do you pop these bumpers on the pole tips after they through metal clips?
I have no trees in my yard that can support a hammock so I’m very intrigued by this solution. How deep is your post? My soil is very rocky so it makes it hard to dig.
Sounds good to me. I would love a nice new Diamondback topquilt!
Is this a right or left zipper entry?
I tried to talk myself out of buying this but just couldn’t resist! It’s on its way here now!
I use both a pad and a UQ. I did find that I needed a wider pad because I would roll of the edge.
I never minded the sound of rain hitting my tents rain fly. This year with my hammock in the Boundary Waters I had one night of steady rain and had trouble sleeping. I think it might be because in a...
I just got back from a week long trip to the BW. We went in 9/4-9/10. Our group of 3 had a great time with good fishing and pretty good weather. I think my 2 camp mates were a little jealous when...
I have a 13’ tarp from WB and use a 12’ snakeskin. It’s a little work but fits.
Has anyone been to the North Shore campgrounds at lake Arrowhead? Are sites hammock friendly? I have a couple of free days next week and would like to try hanging there.
Thanks Ray
I have the double bottom. I also weigh around 150lbs. I used a pad and a underquilt because May in Minnesota can be pretty cold. That combo was very comfortable for me.I like the feel of a pad under...
Bluegill13,I have only tried napping in a GE hammock but found it super uncomfortable. Being a side sleeper like you I was skeptical of a bridge hammock but I figured I would try it. Game changer for...
Sorry to hear about your wet night. I sealed all my pullouts when I first received my tarp and they didn’t leak at all.I sealed the tab but haven’t had a chance to test it out. I will definitely test...
I sealed the tab on both sides of the tarp when I got home. We don’t get very much rain in SoCal so next time I set it up I will pour some water on it to test it. I’m not sure what the tab is used...
I wasn’t sure what it was for. It is a small loop with a piece of cord hanging from it.
Just finished my first week long trip with my new ridgerunner (or any other hammock)and can honestly say I have never slept better in the woods. Being a side sleeper I went with a bridge hammock. I...
The leak was in the very middle of the tarp from the small loop there. I had the ridgeline over the tarp so it wasn’t water traveling down from the ends. I will seal the ridge when I get home. My wet...
I just got back from a week in the BWCA using my ridgerunner/superfly combo. It was my first time getting rained on( I live in SoCal) while using this tarp. I found that I had a leak in the ridge...
I was bummed I couldn’t make this hang. As a newbie I was looking forward to meeting other SoCal hangers and learning a few things. Are there any plans in the works for other SoCal group hangs this...

This is only pic I have. It’s a quick cellphone pic,Not sure if you can tell anything from it.
My new RR is my first attempt at hammock camping. I’ve only done one overnight hang and one other setup in a park. With both setups I kept thinking I was hanging very low to the ground.Im pretty sure...
The urinal comment hit it right on the head! Made me laugh out loud!
I was so bummed when I saw the dates for the group hang. I’m going to be out of town and won’t be able to make it. I’m going to...
Here is a pic of my new rig. Does tarp height look ok or is ridgeline too high?

I wish I had that option! Not a tree big enough to hang on in my neighborhood. I might try and find a park nearby that I can try and experiment in.
Thanks for all the info! I wil try your setup and see how it works for me.
Yeah, I haven't had any issues with porch mode - just use my trekking poles for it. The 'style' I use is from this video:
Thanks for the video. How do you secure poles? Watching other videos...
Mine are 6” also. Maybe I need to move them closer to tie outs? Can you still setup in porch mode if they are that close?
I didn’t mention the strangest thing,that he slept in his car!
Yes,I used shock cord. I watched shugs video and did them just like his. It seemed that in order to pull out the tensioners it left a big gap. Maybe I had ridgeline too high? Do you use tensioners on...
I finally got to try out my new RR and Superfly last night. I have to say it was nice to wake up with my back feeling pretty good! Still a lot to learn about hammock camping. I used a pad and an...
I did my first hammock night at Blue Jay last night. I had the whole place to myself or so I thought. The sound of a car wakes me up at midnight. 49 empty campsites and this guy pics the one right...
Bizzz,thanks for the info. I wasn’t sure if that area was open after the fires this year. I might take a ride out today to check it out. Do you know if that area is safe to leave gear hanging while I...
Hi all, I just purchased my first hammock and tarp and I’m looking for a hammock friendly campground where I can overnight and try it out. I live in Rancho Cucamonga CA and don’t mind traveling a...
Thanks! Your customer service is awesome!
I ordered a RR this morning and just looked at invoice. I see that I got the 20% off and not the 25%. I see you fixed on the website.Will this be adjusted before my card is charged?
Thanks Ray
Hi all, I have finally joined the hanging community! I ordered a RR and a 13’ superfly today with the Black Friday sale. I’m looking forward to trying hammock camping. I haven’t purchased a ridge...
Carbon, you are one of the first side sleepers I’ve seen that has said they can’t side sleep in a RR. It’s good to know you can still get comfortable. It’s hard being a Sox fan in SoCal right now....
Thanks wbJohn, I will check out forum. I’m new to Southern California and really don’t know anyone here. I’m thinking that might be a good way to meet people and checkout some hammocks. By the way, I...
The Thought of not having a way to shutout the rain is a little unnerving to me. I’ve weathered to many spring T-storms with sideways rain and temps in the 40’s. I guess I’m trying to get best of...
Thanks for the responses. I will look into customizing tarp options. I have tried a GE hammock last BW trip. It was just a hammock setup for lounging around camp. I couldn’t seem to get comfortable...
Hi All, I’m thinking of making the change from tent camping to hanging. I mainly camp in the BW of Minnesota but also a little around home. Being a side sleeper with back issues, the RR seems like...
