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.

Shug, get yourself a Thermacell. Best thing ever for mosquitos and chiggers! I fish around the saltwater mangroves, here in FL. The mosquitos and noseeums can be murder! Five minutes of that thing running and they're gone. They also make a belt clip for it. Bullfrog Mosquito Coast spray works wonders, as well. It's sunscreen and bug repellent all in one. Enjoyed the video, as always, my friend!

For mosquitoes up here in Canada, I just burn green poplar leaves. I think there may be something in the smoke that they don't like, or it could just be the smoke period.. Just build a big fire, and place the leaves on one side. Works every time, and keeps the little biters away for a good fifteen minutes per burn. I like peaches and cream oatmeal.

So after watching your videos four days ago and messaging back and forth, I had to get out and lay in the hammock. I really needed to get out in the woods for a bit. 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..

And there's always the back yard with the tripods and pipe ridge since I don't have the proper trees.

But when I do I have a tiny fan I hang on the ridgeline to move air....www.beltoutlet.com/travelon-3-speed-personal-folding.html?CA_6C15C=120136140000065708

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.

How is that ridgerunner as far as stability? Does it feel tippy? How does it compare to the blackbird. Ive been eyeing up that blackbird for a while. Might give it a try. I've never done the hammock thing before. I am sick of waking up sore when sleeping on the ground. Hopefully this is the solution.

I tried on of those off things. The TX bugs just laugh at it & made fun of me. Then drain a quart of blood. I barely made it back inside again. We have West Nile bad down here. So they recommend folks to stay away from being our doors especially early mornings & dusk. Of course the 100 degree temps seem to enforce their edicts...LOL
