At 73, I just ordered my very first hammock: the Warbonnet Ridgerunner and a 13' Superfly. I am not a thru hiker or UL guy, but I do try to keep it light. I only go out 3 or 4 days max. So, at my age I am going for comfort vs weight savings. Thanks for several Ridgerunner videos, they helped me a ton. You are a great teacher Shug. Appreciate it.

Took off spur of the moment and decided to play a little game called, "What's in your pack?" For the first time, my tent was not..in..the pack. I slept in my 12 oz. Grand Trunk Ultralight hammock. No bueno. Not comfortable, I got no sleep at all. It was okay, about 4:00am I realized that listening to the crickets for hours, looking up at branches reflecting the fires's glow was wayyyy better than working for 8 hrs any day.. I want one of these here Warbonnet hammocks! Oh, and I got a lil package from Austin, Texas today. My Texas State Fair Chili and 17 other little PackitGourmet items. Buddy Whoo..

Embarrassing Warbonnet Bridge, Virtual Bear Assisted, Inversion Escape Technique. Another tribute to the bullet proof WBBR. We were knocking off 40 miles of AT north of Atkins, VA last week. The last night I had to hang between two trees ~30 ft apart. I made the mistake of pulling the WBBR too tight with too little angle. It felt kind of tippy but I did not readjust to a higher/looser hang before easing off to sleep. Around 2am my hiker buddy Stickman (ground dweller) was ~ 15 ft from me in his tent having a very vivid bear attack dream; “Run Al, he’s coming up the creak”. I woke up and yelled at him to pipe down, not shoot himself with his bear spray, a few other expletives, and went back to sleep. About an hour later I dreamt that a bear was pushing down on the starboard side of my hammock and lo and behold I ended up face down on my net looking at the ground. Too embarrassed to request assistance from a ground dweller I eased to my zipper (luckily at the head of the net) unzipped and quietly oozed out of the inverted hammock via the head orifice. Another tribute to the bullet proof WBBR.

I would buy a "All Clear in Sector Seven" Tee Shirt. Even better a "Sector Seven" flag to hang at one's hammock site?
@shugemery3 жыл бұрын
A lot of my tee shirts available at TeeSpring say "all secure in sector seven" on the back....teespring.com/white-logo-cotton-shug-shirt?pid=369&cid=6513&sid=back I don't offer flags though. Thanks.

When you were checking the sewed in insulation that " didn't look right." His butt was right there. If that was a woman in that hammock your wife would get mad. Hey honey let me see if your insulation is compacted...squeeze squeeze Pat,pat,pat.

Shug let's female mosquitos bite him(0:52 and on). Female mosquitos use Shug blood to help themselves get pregnant. Female mosquitos drop their eggs,in stagnant water. Eggs hatch. Is Shug then a daddy? late at night your mind wanders weirdly :)
