i run that same set up 3/4 AHE and Thermarest in my RR. Hope to do similar in the Lux, but its a single layer..,. Now the long wait for USPS to get it to me.... Warbonnet is so mainstream these days, nice to find a little cottage bridge!

Bill suggested the Duo pad as you can't fall off of it and because of it's "underquilt-like" fit. Like in my WBRR, I'll also be trying the regular L/W pad with a shorter head-end bar-I preferred this in the WBRR with the Pad. Which AHE UQ do you have? I hope to try my 3S Jarbidge as well. It's size and thickness seem more promising than my short 1S Ridge Creek in the Lux, although as it has been stated, no coverage beyond either side of the bars.
Did you ever have a chance to do a review?Quote:

I'm not much of a person to do reviews or videos. I'm using the BGBH with a new hammock hot tent in the next month or so. I'll try to shoot some video and/or photos & post them here to show what I've done.Quote:

That was 5 years ago and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I just like how the AHE spreads the UQ out more under the hammock. Just my opinion only. May not do anything function-wise once I lay in the hammock if I just clipped the ends of the UQ at the biners like the photos above. I think the AHE just helps to keep the UQ in position.Quote:

Thanks! I couldn't figure out how you had the triangle thingies outside of the. Spreader bars yet attached at these points. Then I saw your post from awhile back on the update on the bridge hammock thread of Just Bill's that you goarpund the bars back to the d rings. I've replicates this, and I must say, I like it much better.Quote:
