    Red face VIDEO: Hammock Ridge Under Legs

    Getting ready for the winter, and in doing so thought it appropriate to do a little sharing. Hope you enjoy it.





    Best of wishes,
    Blaze

    Great Advice Blaze. I really enjoy seeing your winter rigs.
    You spoke about feeling more ridge pressure when using an UQ do you get the same pressure with the Spear Polar Pod?
    It looks very narrow at the foot end so I wondered if laying asym was more of an issue with it.

    Nice video Blaze. What make/manufacture is the hammock sock you have on your hammock in the video?
    Thank you

    Blaze, you mentioned a gap under your butt with the Polar Pod by itself. Is that because you are trying to use it only as an UQ rather than wrapping it around you? I don't have a Polar Pod (yet!) but have been using it's little brother the PeaPod for years, and in normal ( wrap around) use, any gaps beneath me are a function of how much slack I allow during set up. IOW, I can adjust it so that I have a big gap on purpose or so that it is snuged up against my back. But maybe that is trickier with the longer Polar model depending on hammock length?

    Good to see another of your videos pal. Good sound advice. Hope your time away from the camera is short!
