After using the warbonnet ridgerunner on two trips and sleeping in it for 14 days. Now I can give you a review, on the pro's and con's on this great hammock. And how to make it lighter for your backpacking with a hammock trip.

Just found your site today and you happened to review my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE HAMMOCK OF ALL TIME for camping and normal backpacking. Those spreader bars are very helpful IMO and make overall use much easier, more effective, and comfortable. If you're gonna invest in a hammock for multiple uses, this is the sweetest and most well made hammock I've come across. Glad it was a 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Review experience for you. Wm. ~

I just used my new (used) Ridgerunner this weekend at Shabbona Lake State Park this weekend. Pretty happy with it. I need to get some kind of clip or something to keep my Nemo Fillow Pillow inside when I get in or out. The hammock has a tendency to spill contents that aren't in the side pockets. (nice shot of the sneaky squirrel BTW)

Great review! I just went to the BWCA for a week with my new REI quarter dome air hammock. First time camping with a hammock and I don't think I will go back to a tent. I like how yours has the saddle bags and an individual spot for the sleeping pad. I didn't have any issues though with just putting my pad in the hammock.My quarter dome came with the whoopi slings so that was a plus. I was surprised how easy it was to put up and take down. The whole rig comes in at 3lbs which is good for packing in.

I just received my Ridgerunner yesterday and hung it this morning. I too am a side sleeper and I've used gathered-end hammocks for years, and while I can sleep on my side in them, the excess fabric near my head bothers me when it flops over onto the side of my head. It's an annoyance that I hope is not present in the Ridgerunner.

Great review. Covers a lot of things that other reviews brush over. Love my RR. Have had it for about 6 years now. Made in USA. Like your tip on the bumpers for your pole ends. Think I'll cut a little bit of bike tire tube and make some. You are on target with the double bottom too. I got a cheap closed cell foam pad with some Mylar on one side to slide in between layers. Nice and toasty. Tip on using a 75% unzipped sleeping bag for a quilt is exactly what I do too. Works great. My back loves my WBRR. Go Warbonnet!

My BA opinion once more . It made me feel good to hear you refer to "spreaders" which is what we called them years ago and they make all the difference when a person doesn't want to feel like a pupae in a cocoon . Mine were typically made from bamboo . It is amazing how flat you can lay in that Warbonnet Ridgerunner and this makes me reconsider using a hammock again after many years of swearing I'd never sleep in one again . I do a fair amount of travelling with horses and mules and a small tent can kind of suck on wet & muddy terrain . I think you are using paracord , but not certain... and had to laugh (in a respectful way ) at you keeping your trusty Kabar close at hand . This is something I can totally relate to and these days , I also keep a Glock 40 caliber around . Time to do some research on a Ridgerunner and Thanks Very Much for your video and input . Best wishes for all future endeavors . Lefty

It's nice to see someone else taking a Ka-Bar with them. Been carrying one with me since it was issued back in 1965. I like the Warbonnet Blackbird and for lighter weight ( Ultralight backpack ) have been using the Warbonnet Traveler with a bug net. I camp in Florida's wet lands and found two hammock manufactures that the mosquitoes can not bite threw the bottom material of their hammocks. Warbonnet's Blackbird or Traveler ( double bottom ) and the Tropical Ultra Hammock by Clark. The Clark Tropical Ultra is a heavier hammock then the others and I like it for canoe camping. It appears that the Warbonnet Ridgerunner would also be 100% bug proof with the double bottom and netting.

I really like the look of this hammock. I've wanted to see if I can find a way to open up the head. I get just a _little_ claustrophobic after a while. Not much, but I think I'd be a little more comfortable if it were open a bit. I also like to just lay awake at night and listen to the sounds. It makes my soul happy. :-) Plus, mosquitoes LOVE my blood, so having netting built in would be good if I ever camp when they are hatching and my current hammock doesn't have netting. I'm definitely going to have to try this.

It is always better to hang between two trees. But there are times there may not be any trees available. I have used it even in the house many times. That is the good news about a Hammock stand. The one that I use is the Tato Gear Hammock Stand. But the bad news is that it cost $325.00. It is made really well. And will last for years. I look at it as an investment if you are going to be using it a lot in your life time. I did a video on it a few years ago. If you are interested. Please check it out.

Great ventilation. And I have had this hammock down to 18 degrees.

Hello great review ! I'm newly contemplating Hammock vs 1 man tenting via Moto camping. Do you find locating a proper tree spacing limiting for making a given campground / site work for you ? I see the advantages vs a tent. But the idea of finding an otherwise ideal campground after a long day of riding & then having to pass due to "no trees properly spaced" sounds like no fun ! (Whereas all tent camp spaces SHOULD have proper flat ground...) Love to hear your thoughts 💭 and thank you ! David (in hot Texas)
@AdventureswiththeMarine

In designated camp sites. There are always tent pads to set up. But if you are in an area that has a lot of trees. It is then hard to find a spot to set up a tent. But with trees that are 12 ft.- 20 ft. You can hang anywhere. I just got back from a trip in the black Hills of South Dakota. It was much easier to find trees to hang. Than a flat level spot for a tent. They both have pros and cons. I have done a series on Tent vs Hammocks. Please check them out. I believe they will be very helpful. Thank you for watching. Much appreciated.

Nice job; thank you. The only problem I have with the Ridgerunner is that there isn't a tarp made which is large enough to use in Winter storm mode. This is because the hammock doesn't collapse side to side like a gathered end hammock; the spreader bars make the geometry for a Winter tarp nearly impossible. The tarp would have to be shaped like a barn.

Twin your tarp ridgeline and use sticks for spreader bars. One line goes above to hang the rainfly, the other goes below the tarp/fly on the entrance side (hung lower) for gear storage/clothes line. I like the extra headroom under the tarp for getting dressed standing up, etc.

Curious if you can comfortably relax with your arms behind your head(chicken wing style so to speak) and not be pushing into the edges tightly with your elbows? I've read that with a pad it's a little more rigid than an underquilt, but can raise you up and make it more tippy. Being able to have multi use hiking poles to me sounds the best way to go, but hard to find the right ones. Although, if one breaks their poles on a trip that would suck lol. Any thoughts on these issues would be helpful. thanks

I got that from Dutchware Gear. It is called the Tato Hammock Stand. Thank you for watching BackDoor Creation. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you are shaving weight on the WBBr. I've been working with the bridge for a few years and and now have a 6-8 pond base weight. Check out the 2017 Yana Poles from www.rutalocura.com/trekking_poles.html you can drop the foot hammock pole and use one of these hiking poles to shave additional weight. He'll throw in the handle adapter as well. I've been using Dutches kevlar straps as a total strap from dog bones and tree huger. They do frey after some use but have lasted 2 years and hundreds of trails miles. Also consider replacing the dog bones with dynaglide. The Warbonnet 3/4 Lynx UQ (20 degree) might be lighter than your's. I've been working on accommodating a Zimmerbuilt quickpack with the bridge for summer use and had rutalocura.com build me a three section carbon head pole that will fit into the pack. Additionally, each of the three sections are the same length as the two foot sections allowing some redundancy. If you want to go this route just order the middle section for the head and use the two foot sections.

Al B Hey thanks for commenting on this video! I’ve had the Ridgerunner for about a year and have been using the Mountainsmith Trekking Poles as spreader bars. But at 10 ounces each, it adds up quite a bit! I’ve been looking at the Gossamer Gear LT4S poles but have been concerned they may break under stress as spreader bars. Have you had opportunity to test the carbon polls from Rutal Ocura as spreader bars? Are you using just one of the poles for the foot end or have you tried one for the head end as well?

Have you ever tried using trees for your hammock? That stand looks awful heavy for a hike.

@@backpackingwithahammock4006 I ordered my carbon fibre poles a few inches shorter so that the hammock is more concave and it gives me a better 3/4 side sleep. A very little bit of shoulder squeeze if I'm on my back, but that's not how I'm usually sleeping.
