    Question Backrest for sitting up in a Ridgerunner?

    I've been able to spend a good amount of time lately in my Ridgerunner. I found myself wanting to sit upright one day. I was thinking that a crazy creek type of chair might actually work in the hammock. Has anyone already tried that? I thought I'd ask before I buy one.

    My imagination went further into how maybe you could have just the back panel of a chair and attach it with straps to the webbing edges that run the length of the hammock. It would be kind of like the backrest in a kayak. I'm sure there are structural concerns with using that part of the hammock but maybe somebody smarter than me could say.

    The net isn't tall enough to allow it. (just pointing it out if that was the hope)

    So at that point... you might as well sit sideways in your crazy creek style chair. You get the back support of the chair and the padding against the 'edge bite' with a little more stability. Or you might as well set your crazy creek on the ground near the fire.


    On that note- another option perhaps- that doesn't involve buying a crazy creek
