    4 gram Ridgeline disorganizer

    I have been considering a ridgeline organizer but wanted to make it multipurpose somehow.
    Instead of making an organizer, I just adapted my nanoseeum bishop bag to hang from my ridgeline.

    I used about 4 inches of 3/16" flat nylon cord, to secure 2 glove hooks, sewn onto the main seam of my bishop bag. A pair of mason's line prusik knots on my ridgeline, and I have a handy place to stash stuff. Total weight of added material: maybe 4 grams total including thread.

    My suspension terminates in whoopie hooks from Dutchware, and connects to continuous loops on my hammock. So removing the bag is easy enough.

    I call it a ridgeline disorganizer because it's just a stuff sack hanging up there. No dividers or fitted pockets, but my bishop bag will certainly be more useful where I can reach it than sitting out on the end of my hammock.

    Photo shows a wind shell and an eyeglass case, the hammock wasn't actually pitched so the ridgeline is saggier than in practice. But you get the idea. I may try replacing the drawstring with some shock cord, but so far it seems fine as is.

    cheers,

    That seems to work surprisingly well. I may try it!

    Thanks for sharing.

    I sorta did this, but without the lines. Just disconnected my ridgeline from one side, slid on a sil poly double ended stuff sack I had, then hooked the ridgeline back on. I just leave one end open to slide my phone/headlamp into.

    Nice! I thought of hanging my bag that way, except my ridgeline is a pain to disconnect and reconnect.

    Without prussiks to hold and tension the bag, I imagined one might have to use to hands to stuff things in or take them out. Has that been a problem for you?

    cheers,

    I sewed tabs on my stuff sack and hang mine the same way. Effectively adding 0g to my setup.
