    Ridgerunner and Pacerpoles as spreader bar?

    I think this is my first post here on hammock forums...woohoo!

    I am considering a ridgerunner and would like to use these Pacerpoles http://www.pacerpole.com/product/pac...k-product-page (http://www.pacerpole.com/product/pac...k-product-page) as spreader bars. I saw ProfessorHammocks mod but I don't know how to sew and it was unique to his hammock design. I was wondering if anyone else might be using pacerpoles as spreaderbars for their ridgerunner bridge? If so how are you making it work? Also am I limited to using twist lock vs level locks?

    Many thanks in advance. This is a great community. I found it because I wanted to find a different way to backpack.

    I doubt that would work because the head of the pole and the tip are not in the same axis. The head is super offaxis. I have these Poles and I have a RR but it never occurred to me to use them for that reason. PPoles also don't work very well to prop up a ground tarp, etc. Though I have made them work. I will never give up using them for hiking though. Too awesome.

    They should work if you can get the poles handle strap to go over the handle. May sit a bit off center.
