    Warbonnet Ridgerunner bridge hammock fan options?

    I've made a big rookie mistake...

    With no structural ridgeline, what portable fan solutions are y'all using?

    Well, with my trip coming up this weekend, I think I'll be using a continual ridgeline instead. Hopefully, a small portable fan will penetrate the bugnet since it's mosquito season.

    I'd still love to hear about what other people are using.

    Here's what I plan to use this weekend. The fan seems flexible, so I should be able to point it downwards towards my face.

    I used this one hiking this weekend and use it most of the night as well in my Ridgerunner. Works pretty good for a $5 fan.

    These neck fans are amazing. Used them with my Scouts all summer. Perfect for hammock camping. My batteries lasted over a week, using several hours each night.

    Love that it's fully enclosed. This might be a wild goose chase at the brick and mortar...

    How do you have it hung when the bugnet is installed?

    Battery life should be perfect for 3 full nights of sleep then. I'm using rechargeable batteries, so might not get the same time as you, but I'll pack extra batteries.

    It lays on my chest. The design is like a necklace with the fan being a large medallion.

    I bought a similar fan, have not used it yet, gets cold in the mountains at night. I have long hair and I am very concerned about getting my hair caught in fan or hair dryer motors. Just a warning for long haired folks.

    I have a power pack and my son used this one. It was on clearance for under $2 and worked well.
