I've been meaning to set up a ridgeline, but most of my hangs are just a few hours at a time near the beach or something, and I wouldn't want the ridge in my way.

I've only hammock camped twice, and only one was a proper setup. But I'm going backpacking next week, and I think I'm gonna set up a ridgeline before I go, so it's one less thing to worry about

I usually don't find it cumbersome for my short hangs.

I did end up setting up a ridgeline for my trip and it was a game changer.

It makes setting up so much easier. Just get your height correct and everything else falls into place! Hope the trip was fun!
