    Total Noob UQ Question

    How does an Underquilt attach to the hammock?

    I know most use shock cord that go through side channels for adjustability, but where on the suspension system does that attach to?

    Sorry if this has been asked before.

    Cord goes over hammock knot at both ends is a popular way of doing it.

    See Warbonnet underquilt video

    That is for the Warbonnet yeti only. Most UQ have shockcord that attaches to the corners and tie to the suspension witha prussik knot. Both seem to work equally well, but the yeti can be slid around more.

    Thanks!

    So that's what a whipped end is. It seems to be more common than the cord through channel method.
