    Raven Hammock with Hammock Gear Econ 10 Underquilt Questions from a newbie

    Morning all,

    Please have patience with me as I am a noob. In the next few days, I am going to purchase a Hammock Gear Incubator Econ 10 Underquilt, along with an Econ 10 Top Quilt. Currently, my Raven Hammock is in standby mode, at the top of the list, awaiting the arrival of charcoal gray, 1.1 oz ripstop, for the overcover material. It is killing me slowly.

    Before I order the Econ Incubator Underquilt, I want to have peace of mind that the Econ Incubator Underquilt will work with the Raven's Overcover and/or Bugnet. I am hoping I can get by without any modifications, as I am not a very mechanical type guy.

    I do know about the Triangle Thingies from Arrowhead Equipment. I am hoping I dont need to purchase these, but if needed, for a good Incubator seal to the Raven, I will buy them.

    So............you Raven Owners out there, how does your Econ Incubator Underquilt work for you? If you had to do some mods to make it work, can you please possibly show a few pics of same? I saw T-minus' mods he did, but I dont completely understand them. As alluded to above, I am not the sharpest pencil in the box.

    Thank you for any and all help.

    Bob

    I have the Raven, and I currently use a Loco Libre Saver Series UQ for mine. While it's not the HG Econ quilt, they are built with the same type of suspension, and function the same in that regard. I have had zero issues with my LL and Costco underquilts. I can say with full confidence that any underquilt will work on the Raven. There is nothing about its design or construction that could possibly inhibit the performance of an underquilt. I've even seen someone use the Warbonnet Wooki on their Raven- and it looks as if it was made for it.

    In short, you can treat the Raven like any other gathered-end hammock. Hopefully you will get your Raven soon. Once you do, you will love it!

    Shug and rweb82,

    Thank you both for your help.

    So I should be able to make the Econ Incubator Underquilt work, without any need for any type of mod(s), including the Triangle Thingies? Is that correct?

    BTW Shug...Thank you for making all of your hammock videos. They have helped me immensely.

    Be safe.
