    Fronkey Style bug net and underquilt question

    I usually use an XLC. Just used a simple gathered end hammock and Fronkey style bug net
    Any tips in hanging and removing underquilt? I installed uq on ham mock and then slipped whole thing up through the bottom opening. When I tore down, I opened the velcro on the ends and unclipped the S biners. Quilt fell to bottom of bug met and I pulled it out through the bottom ppening. Is that the best way?
    Thanks

    I just got a summer sock specifically for this reason. I’ve been using a Catch All mesh snake from SLD but tried a new summer Sock from Dutch last night. No need to remove the quilts, just pull one side of the Hammock quilts and all and stuff into my compactor bag in my pack then finish with the second end. Everything compresses at least as well as if they were in separate stuff sack, but redeployment is a easy as clip, clip, done.

    I imagine if you have a drawstring on a fronkey and tighten it up all the way you can do the same thing.

    I put the UQ on last, and take it off first. I do the same whether using my Chameleon or my Dutch Netless with Fronkey bugnet.

    That's very similar to what I do. Only difference is that I usually reach in through the bottom opening instead of loosening the ends. Bug net stays on the hammock and goes into the stuff sack.
