    Need advice on which KAQ to get

    ok here's my deal

    i do not like down. don't like it

    so we are wanting to get some decent uq's and that led us to ahe's kaq's

    we have mostly gathered end hammocks (claytor, dd, warbonnet) but also recently got a couple wbrr's

    if we had just gathered end hammocks i'd probably get a mix of New Rivers and Jarbridges for our family of 4

    but i'd like to have a couple uq's i could make work w/ the bridge hammocks too

    i know the Ridge Creek is made specifically for the wbrr, but can't afford to do more than 4 uq's at the moment, and hammock specific uq's would seem to be the thing to wait on

    that leaves me wanting to use one of the other kaq's on both a gathered end and bridge

    so here's my question, if i wanted to hold off on the Ridge Creek and get the New Rivers and/or Jarbridge's which of the two will work the best w/ the wbrr's?

    my gut tells me the Jarbridge but i'd rather rely on others experience and advice than my gut

    so what advice to y'all have?

    thanks in advance

    Adino, have you reached out to Paul Gibson at AHE? He is a frequent commenter here as well.

    check out the two videos in message 6 of this thread. https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...-a-ridgerunner
    He shows how to attach UQ to WBRR WITH S BINERS and shock-cord.
