Pretty cool, how does it attach to the ridgeline? I guess a better question is can you add it to a fixed line or do you have to take the ridgeline down to slide it over?

It is made to be emptied (put stuff back in pockets) then it houses the ridgeline inside. Ridgeline is in channel. I usually add loops at the end to allow it to attached and detach but the customer I did this one for wanted it like this for a gram weenie build.It is lighter than the mesh version

Ok, do you have any pics of some that are detachable?

Yessir here is this weeks build. I also do them with lightweight plastic snaps on the channel to let you unsnap it and snap to a back pack

See the snaps on the pockets?

The camo one is designed to pretty much just live on the ridgeline and be prinstalled when you set up

I made very similar ones but edged in grosgrain instead of folded and hemmed. My son wants deeper ones but I find 7x14 is pretty good. Grosgrain loops to hold to prussics on the ridge line were not as popular but I like them. We are making 20 of these for the scout troop

Superb work. I like the ability to snap the black one.

Excellent. Grosgrain can always be replaced with a button hole or loop of ripstop.
