    Question Fixed Ridgeline on Bridge Hammock?

    After much research, I have decided to buy a bridge hammock. I'm not sure which type yet, but has anybody put a fixed ridgeline in-between the tips of the triangle suspension to set it up correctly every time? thanks.

    I never felt there was a need with my WBRR or DIY bridges.

    No, I've never felt there was a need for one.

    Yes, i put one on our diy bridges but just because we are used to the rl organizer and like having a place to hang stuff from like lights and the extra pockets are nice but as far as getting the lay right, there really isn't a need

    I made my bug net in a big triangular shape and put in a ridge line for it that runs from triangle point to triangle point. The guy lines on it run through the loops I put on my tarp for a pole mod (not in use for that yet) and then down to the rings on the outside end of the triangle suspension for the bridge. It works great for giving me lots of head room in the bug net and also for hanging a ridgeline organizer on.

    I have a removable RL on my BMBH-UL, attached at the rings. I use it with a short piece of bungy to hold the bugnet up.
    Hard to see its light gray lash-it with mitten hooks
