Should I Buy a ridgerunner?

[Zilla]

Ok! thanks! I better start counting my pennies!

All i can say is that after really loving her gathered end and never having any issues with it the first time my wife tried a bridge she never stopped talking about it, so i got her a rr and now she is very happy,, as far as pennies go, keep an eye open on warbonetts promo page, you can pick up a rr with a small blemish or patch at a deep discount but you gotta be fast. good luck

I had a RR. Loved the comfort and side sleeping. However..... I found the SF not long enough if you want to close either end. Also could never get my incubator to snug up nicely.... always a gap and CBS. I gave up and sold it rather than giving up the investment I already had in the SF and Incubator. Those work great on my Clark and WBBB. Did not want to have to reinvest in a cloudburst and lynx.

I see you have a BMBH-UL. how well does the incubator fit on it??? and the superfly???


edit: according to Jack's 'R' Better, and WarBonnet, the BMBH UL is lighter than the SL WBRR. It looks like It'll fit an underquilt better, because of it's deeper-laying bed. should I buy this instead???

The superfly has the same dimensions as the cloudburst. The only difference is the location of the pullouts and the lack of doors on the cloudburst. Also, the cloudburst lacks the cat cuts that the superfly has. You can use clip on pullouts that dutch sells to accomodate a bridge hammock.

I previously owned a BMBH and the shoulder squeeze was unbearable. I sold it after a few nights spent in it.



I have not had an issue with either a 20 degree Incubator or 40 degree Phoenix UQ and a WB Ridgerunner hammock.




I have also not had any issues staying dry with a Superfly tarp over the WBRR hammock. Have been through a good many thunderstorms and just got dumped on for a few hours this past weekend in the Allegheny National Forest and stayed bone dry under the SF.

I do have a double pole mod on the tarp, but this does not assist with helping to stay dry, it merely assists in opening up the internal space in the tarp.

Nice mod, Tendertoe!!!!!!

ok. thats got me sold. I'll either make a RR clone, or just buy one. (I'm very handy with a sewing machine.)

I just ordered my RR!!! single layer olive brown. Now I can't wait for the mailman (or lady) in a week or two!

Good choice! I have a closet full of hammocks which are all collecting dust since I bought my RR.

I really do hope that it'll be as good as everybody says!
