Love my ridgerunner . Thanks for the tips .
Thanks for watching!
Great videos you've made about the RR. Warbonnet should hire you. Love the pillow strap mod! Gonna borrow it.
Please do!
Thanks for showing the go-to-ground capabilities.
You’re welcome! Not ideal compared to a dedicated Bivy, but it’ll do in a pinch. Thanks for watching!
Another thumbs up for you Rob
All the best mate

You have a great channel Sir. Not only are your vids informative, they are entertaining as well. These RR mods are great...the interior ridge line... genius. As a RR owner myself, it's refreshing to see your in-depth focus on a great product. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the kind words. I just figured someone may be interested in what I’ve done to the RR to make it a little more useful. And here we are! thanks for watching!
hahah! you had me laughing at your early "blips".. love that in your vids :) love the bugnet tension hack!
Outtakes happen. Lol
The Bloopers made this video! 🤣Nice hammock too.
Haha. They happen a lot.
rpelton1 yes they do... i thought about making just a bloopers video and rolling that out lol way to many of them. 🤣
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you watching! Cheers
Very cool I'm definitely looking to pick up a underquilt protector
It helps quite a bit. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for video. I just got my RR. 3 nights in it in our “dayroom” on a sunny daze frame. Will definitely watch the other videos before I move outside. Planning to use it on the AT next year since trails are closed right now.
Oh cool! I hope you can hit the trail. Crazy times were in. Thanks for watching!
Nice little hacks. Merry Christmas Rob.
Much appreciated. Merry Christmas!
I wonder if you could raise the corners with the poles, ( not connecting them together but using one half in each corner). This would give you a ton more interior depth. You could make a short line with loops at both ends to space out the tops of these now vertical poles, then stake out each pole to the side.
I just ordered one of these. I camp in the desert part of the time, so trees are not available.
Hmm...trying to picture what your describing...🤔
@@robpelton OK let me try better. If you lay the hammock on the ground and put the individual pole pieces into the corners but place the poles vertically, (up and down).
Now you have legs at each corner that will lift the ends and sides. This will let the top screen go higher as well.
You will have about as much room as you would if hanging. I ordered one of these but have not gotten it yet, so I don't know if it would work. The poles may need cordage to hold them in the correct position, or I suppose you could place the poles into a hole made by driving a large stake into the ground first and pulling it out.
DannyB1954 oh I see. For sleeping on the ground. I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
very cool brother I love watching your mod videos it's because of you that I actually got the warbonnet ridgerunner and I'm so glad I did I appreciate all your mods I've done everyone itsfunneh my very first tent was a bivy style tent Merry Christmas
Oh nice! If you’re liking it, you’re welcome. If not, I’m sorry. 😬 haha.
FWIW....I have both the Warbonnet UQ protector and 2QZQ Underquilt Protector. The 2QZQ Underquilt Protector is MUCH better the WB's UQ protector. One note though with the 2QZQ UQP, I opted to get the optional longer shock cord to hold up pad even though I have a double layer RR. This option allows be to cinch up the UQP under the RR (with installed lynx of course) on all 4 sides without all that flapping loose material on the WB UQP.
Good to know. Thank you!
Awesome mods and thanks for the excellent video. Where did you get the two poles for the tarp that act as spreader bars?
Warbonnet used to sell them. I believe Dutchware does now.
Do you have a video showing how to attach the continuous loops directly to the dog bones after removing the aluminum triangle?
I do! It’s in the Warbonnet Hacks Pt. 1 video.
I need to get me a hammock. Great video. Merry Christmas Rob 🎄
Take the plunge!!
Looking to try out a bridge hammock some time soon. Maybe the REI one so I can return easily if I don’t like it. I think my current HG bottom quilt will work with it. Thanks great video and ideas for customizing it
I started with the REI hammock and graduated to a Ridgerunner. Whatever gets you hanging!
rpelton1 loving my Dutch chameleon but would like to try something new and different
Merry Christmas!🎄Could probably use the spindrift as a bivy also! Thanks for all the great ideas!
I keep hearing about the spindrift. Haven’t broke down and bought one....yet....
You have a double layer, Ridgerunner. Is the under quilt, substantially better than a pad? Or just preference? I was thinking to use a pad, it has more universal use.
I find the UQ is far superior for warmth, coverage and comfort. I’ve used a pad here and there as it does work. It’s ok, but not ideal for me.
Hey Rob, can you do a video on how to use your trekking poles in place of the spacer bars? I know that that can be done with the RR, I just can't find any videos of people actually doing it. Thinking that it would save some weight. Thanks!
Hi Tim! The trekking pole mod requires a specific type of trekking pole. Ones I don’t use unfortunately. I’ll see if I can find some and do what I can. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Nice information. ✌️
Thank you!
Another great video Rob!
Keep those hacks coming😉
Interesting info about the underquilt protector. I got the spindrift last year. I figured that I got privacy and warmth both at the same time. For condensation prevention I can leave both doors half way open. Maybe the 2qzq is a better option especially in summer ?
Have a great Xmas and a happy new year!😀
Another Spindrift comment. I gotta check it out. No UQP in summer for me.
Great video! I'm wondering how those carbon fiber spreader bars are working out for you? Are you happy with them? Thanks!
I am happy. They perform as they should. Kind of pricey, but I appreciate them. Thanks for watching!
Another awesome video!!!
Much appreciated!
Hey Rob I know this may seem silly but I’m just getting into hammock camping. I’m wondering if you can show the knots and loops that you use for hanging the hammock, tarp, and guy-lines?
Actually yes! I have a tarp set up vid coming on the detailed specifics on my tarp set up.
Well, I would not say an underquit protector at 5oz is no weight. For 2oz extra down you would have a warmer underquit. Great video by the way, just don't agree on that point.
I wonder if a warmer UQ packs down as small or weighs less than a lighter UQ and UQP. I’ll have to test that out. Thanks for watching!
I want to get a RR, but I’d need a longer tarp (11ft Mountain Fly), probably a new UQ, and obviously a new hammock. Tax return money!?
That’s what tax returns are for!! Haha.
Who brings a hammock into the prairies? ;)
Right?? Haha
I do. I motorcycle camp so don't have a lot of space for both a hammock and a tent. Backpackers doing the PCT also are in the desert half the time and weight and space are an issue.
Hello I'm Adam from Henning Outdoors. I'm trying to put together a TH-camr get together in the Yellow River State Forest in Iowa late March early April. Would you be interested?
Hi Adam! It would depend on when. I’ll be in Arkansas around that time. Hit me up on FB or Insta and we’ll get it figured out!
@@robpelton will do.
Not good as a bivvy I have a lawson that is a good bivvy but definitely an option in a pinch
100% agree. Not ideal, but can work if absolutely needed. Thanks for watching!
