Also do i need to tell the jacks I have a warbonnet instead of a BMBH, or are all the attatchments to the hammocks on the jrb quilts made the same? In other words, is it like the speer where there is a universal and then the speer version?

Confused. Are you using the JRBs for UQ or are you using the Yeti? My MWUQ attaches differently to the BMBH than it does to a WB, but all the same JRB suspension gear is the same, use the same on both. You just attach it a bit differently. I'm pretty sure it will be the same with all of the JRB quilts. There are no dif versions, except you can get a MWUQ 3 convertible or not.

I am using the yeti as UQ, no sniv as TQ + Down garment. I dont care what people think about how i look, i also use an umbrella.

This "Winter Yeti" of which you speak, is it the same specs as the one that is forthcoming for general release?

not knowing the general release specs, I can't say.
Mine was an original prototype Brandon was testing.
see my review back here
used this at Mt Rogers with no concerns and again later on a snowshoe trip were the temp fell. Winter is my favorite time to get out...love it!

Well the snaps for the liner will be there I'm sure. If it follows the 3Season Yeti, it will be a couple of ounces lighter than the old versions and pretty heavily overstuffed.

I, for one, am realllllllly looking forward to playing with one and keep waiting for that thread where Brandon says "Winter Yetis are now available".

I'm planning to use the same set up for my eventual thru-hike.

3 season No sniveler and a 3 season Yeti the only item I might add to my set up is a Gossamer Gear pad.

Not me. I'm dreading it b/c I'm scared I'll end up with one and my wife will ask me where all the money went in the bank account. I'll bill my divorce costs to Brandon.
