    secondary suspension

    I want to add a secondary suspension to my full length underquilt. It has a tendency to bunch up over time. I was thinking of adding Gros grain loops and a Prussik knot made of shock cord. Anyone have suggestions on what size grosgrain and shock cord I should use ?

    Also, I see that hammock gear uses line locks on their secondary suspension. Does anyone have any feedback back on how line locks work in this application?

    I have had good luck mounting LineLoc 3 adjusters on short lengths of 1/2" grosgrain ribbon and attaching them securely to the corners of the quilt; I thread them with 1/8" shock cord and run them through the same micro-carabiners that affix my underquilt at the gathered ends of my hammock. This method is cost-effective and simple to install, and it performs very well out on the trail...

    I am a big fan of linelocks. They seem pretty strong.
    I sew things on youtube.
    I don’t sew on commission, so please don’t ask. Thanks.

    I have line locks on a couple of my UQs.
    But a prussic on main suspension is bold and never lets go.
