Ridge Runner questions...(Black Friday will be the death of me)

[spaceweaseal]

Man...After hearing about the 60 day return policy, I decided to take the plunge! I had it all ordered and went to paypal to pay, but then Paypal glitched out and said that it could not process the order, to call the seller to resolve the problem... was this a sign?

I tried again today, and got the same result, but I have an email in, so maybe there is still time.

I have not told my wife yet, but when she asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I started sweating, and said "I don't need a thing"

Really, my wife is cool with it, I am just a little DRAMATIC at times.

Thanks again for pushing me over the edge! mwahahaha

I had the same problem with pp yesterday. I tried all day to order and got the same error. I am on a iPad and I had to delete all the cookies and history, then I was able to use pp without any issues...

I have not had mine out on a backpacking trip yet. More than likely it will be one that I use for more recreational hangs when long day of walking in not involved.
It is very comfortable and is nice to sit in sideways.
It is long with suspension so proper tarp pitch is essential. also will need wider tree spacing.

My FrankenQuilt on the Ridge Runner

[breyman]

+1 on what others have said. Overall, this is probably the most comfortable hammock I've ever laid in, along with the other benefits (great storage, good views, SUPER easy to dial in insulation under with almost no fidgeting to get it right), etc.

Downsides - as others have mentioned, tree and tarp considerations are a bit different. Also, I find that my gathered end hammock (WBBB) is more comfortable for when I want to lay on my side and really tuck up my knees. The Ridgerunner is FANTASTIC for laying on your back, or even on your side, but the width is a little limiting for drawing your legs up when on your side.

I've had that Paypal problem before with WB's website when I had the items already in my cart and clicked on "see cart." To get around the problem, I just add another item to the cart and then it takes me successfully to the cart.

Oh and I have no gripes with the RR ;-)

That's more a Paypal issue than anything to do with a specific site. PayPal is far under gunned when it comes to server capacity and the default response is to direct you to an error page when they have a glitch. Sometimes switching to a different browser can help but not always.

I got the same message from Paypal, but on another try, it did accept my order. Got a confirmation email from WB. Hmmm.

I didn't have any Paypal issues on two separate purchases, but my Paypal pulls right out of my checking account and not a credit card, so that may make it different.

Honestly haven't found a single thing I don't like about my Ridgerunner...

Well, after quite a few tries, it finally worked...got the CB tarp too. I can't wait to test my new setup and tweak, tweak, tweak. Thank you kindly for all of your help!

I've ordered the same items you have. Once you get them, please start or join in a discussion thread in the Warbonnet sub-forum so we (all of us) can compare notes on pitching the Cloudburst, and other RR specific tips.
