Warbonnet Ridgerunner Hammock

The Ridgerunner by Warbonnet is a very lightweight and easy to set up bridge-style hammock. Whilst being compact and only weighing 27oz, the Ridgerunner is an excellent bit of kit to carry around with you. The hammock features a mosquito net which can be pulled tight, so it never makes contact with your body or face and an additional bottom layer that hangs below the hammock for additional protection against insects.

If when exploring the great outdoors you prefer to keep things simple, disturb your surroundings as little as possible or perhaps just like to try something new, then a hammock might be a more suitable place to lay your head down at night than a traditional tent. It is more compact and light-weight, but you will need to consider your terrain - this isn’t going to work on the beach or at a music festival, you need trees or some super conveniently placed telegraph poles.

Amok Draumr 3.0 Camping Hammock
