    What's on your ridgeline?

    Well I'm out on my second ever hang! And I'm laying here in my hammock thinking about how convenient the ridgeline is! I have everything I might need throughout the night at hands reach and I'm wondering what everyone else hangs off theirs!

    I have socks, a flashlight, a knife, my bandana, a fleece hat, water bottle, and my hammock stuff sack with my phone, and headphones in it, and some toilet paper(never know when you might need it!)

    So what's on your ridgeline?

    Nite-ize mini flashlight, (stays on it) shades, hat and bandana. I larkshead my pack handle onto the gathered end outside of the hammock, but still technically still on the ridgeline.

    Oh, and anything I'll need but just too lazy to git up and git it.

    well, lets see? I have a ridgeline organizer from Fronkey that holds my wallet, sun glasses and phone. Then I clip my knife and flashlight to the ridgeline. I wrap my headlamp up there too. Come to think of it I put more stuff on the ridgeline than I do in the shelf.

    Well, now I'm really feeling left out....

    ....I've got no ridgeline...

    My dangle is at an un-accessorised natural angle.

    Dutch Ridgeline Light, Petzl E-Lite Headlamp, my Esse Izula Neck Knife, and my Walmart Accurite Thermometer. Any clothes I may need are in my quilt with me or will hang over the foot of my hammock if wet. I never leave food in my hammock. It goes up the tree with anything else that may attract animals.

    In my BB I keep a prussik loop on the RL for pulling myself up and it also serves to keep all of my stuff from sliding down towards my feet. I also keep my glasses, headlamp, a little speaker and my Ipod. Sometimes I bring my Nook e-reader which is in a leather book type cover and I slide the one side through so that each half is hanging on each side of the ridgeline (hard to describe but basically think of opening a book up and sliding it over the ridgeline so that it is hanging from the ridgeline).

    I couldn't live without a ridgeline, I love it!

    I have a 2QZQ Ridge-Line Organizer. I have in it my asthma inhaler, glasses & camera. Then I larks head my headlamp to the ridge-line and I have an ELite from JRB which lives there.

    Almost forgot: I have a 2QZQ Mesh Peak-Bag too that I put my daytime clothes in at night & my night time clothes in during the day.

    nothing...that is what the shelf on the blackbird is for
    'Classic.' A book which people praise and don't read.” ― Mark Twain

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.
