No sew ridgeline organizer

**Charlie Brew** · 03-14-2012, 22:35

I have been trying to find a thread on a ridgeline organizer that involves no sewing. I was thinking a binder organizer might work as I could use the ring holes to Attach to my ridgeline. Other than that, I am at a loss. Has anyone done something like this? Weight is an issue but I need something so I guess I will sacrifice my weight concerns for this.

If weight is an issue and no sewing is involved. Get yourself one of those mesh bags that oranges come in; use two safety pins to secure it horizontally to your ridge line; and close up the front by sewing a string at the opening to create a drawstring. Done.

You could glue two ziplock bags together and hang one bag on each side. Idk if it would work just popped in my head. Obviously would have to be fairly even weight wise.

Not light, but some sort of bank deposit bag with holes punched near the top for the line might work.

I am not sure if this will appeal to you, but I recently made a video showing what I normally do. This little trick saves some weight and is quite handy.

Hey raining,

That is a really neat idea in your video. So easy and it makes use of gear we may already have out on the trail with us.

Thanks for the input everyone. I am going with the stuff sack idea for now as I always have a few of those with me.

I really like that video. Mom uses these notebook organizer things with different zipper areas, they are nice. Her and my grandma like alot. I don't like it but then I don't really care for the redge line on my hammock either. But, if she keeps making me use the redge line I like this because then i could just move the bags clear down past my feet or past my head and they will be totally out of my way and I won't hit my head on it during the night. I just wish she'd sew more pockets or bag things along the side of my hammock, but I like this idea.

Gutter, I am jealous. I wish my parents took me camping when I was a kid. I started in college. The notebook organizers were my first thought. I like the stuff sack idea better too.
