    Head end on an HG underquilt

    Guys,
    Just got a 20 degree Hammock Gear under-quilt and after un-boxing it I'm not sure which is the head end. Is the sewn on label the head end of the quilt? I'm new to these gather end hammocks.

    Yep, label is head end.

    I always use different colored 'biners on each end. Red for head, black for foot. Makes setup a lot easier.

    I recently purchased the Dutch Quilt Hangers to hang the UQ on the hammock. They come in a pair, one white and one black to distingquish between head and foot end. I had alway's simply hooked the UQ to the gathered end of the hammock. Like Michigan Dave, I tried S Biners at one point. Ultimately I settled on the Hangers and feel this is the easiest method of all. Here's a link to these hangers: http://www.dutchwaregear.com/quilt-hangers-pair.html
