    Anyone use a Peak Shelf in a WBBB?

    One of these https://dutchwaregear.com/peak-shelf.html

    If not, what do you use?

    I don't use the peakshelf on my gear--not that I wouldn't but haven't purchased. My next attempt will be a little DIY...I saw a Shug video where he used a medium sized stuff bag, sewed some grosgrain, a piece of shotcord to the ridgeline and an S-biner. You may be hoping Dutch's peak shelf will work since that could be more convenient, but I am thinking this Shug method would work great for just how he uses it--to hold a jacket, socks, etc. I used my homemade ridgeline organizer for all the little things. Just adding options to the conversation.

    For experimenting, I have found these inexpensive ditty bags from Walmart useful.

    I use the built in shelf which is typically more than enough room for all my gadgets and even a quilt.

    I modified my XLC to have gear loops at either end and then clip in both ditty bags and peak bags as needed.
    Have sherpas, will travel...

    ha, thanks for sharing. I had thought of a shelf but never a good way to do it. This is pretty good.

    After looking at all the different options out there and considering making one myself I ended up ordering from 2QZQ and can't wait for it to get in. The ridgeline organizer is great for smaller things but I want something a little larger for storage inside the hammock.
