    First set up

    Got the edge tarp and BB up in and was getting more familiar with putting it all up. Didn't do too bad. Tarp ridge line temporary cordage was barely long enough. Thought 12' would have been plenty. Guess I'll try 20' and see how overkill that is. So far I like the woopie suspension set up.

    Looking good especially for your first setup. How did it lay?

    Lay is awesome. So different than ground dwelling. I could feel that cool 37 degree air under. Didn't bring by UQ for just learning to set it up.

    I know all about that cool under air. I went for a hike yesterday and it was in the upper 50's. I hung my Warbonnet Ridgerunner up to take a rest and I too left the under quilt at home. Even with temps in the upper 50's my backside got cool quick. I used my down jacket under me and that allowed me to take a short nap but it's amazing how cold and how quick that happens in hammock.

    I had to order more Lawson glowire. It holds knots well and I want to get comfortable with using all knots before any hardware is tried.
