    Adjustable Ridgeline and WBBB

    So I threw an ARL on my traveler and have been fussing with it. I was wondering if anyone has an adjustable ridgeline on their WBBB. Don't know if it would adjust with the whipping being so tight around the stock ridgeline.

    If anyone has one, how'd you get it through the whipping? I would imagine cut the current amsteel, tie the material you'd be using for the ARL (I'm thinking dynaglide) to the amsteel and pull through the whipping.

    I'm not trying to disassemble the whipping to accomplish this, because this would obviously be a solution, but not one I would like to undertake.

    That was an unforeseen issue. I couldn't imagine a baggy bugnet. That'd annoy the heck outta me.

    Just grab a nite-ize knot bone. Attach it to the WBBB ridge line and wrap the line to get the desired effect.

    I've done that one both my 1.7 dbl and 1.1 dbl. Shortened up both by about 1 1/2". Got rid of most of the calf ridge, and the mosquito net wasn't drooping that bad.
