    Do you find that the Hudson River keeps you as warm as the rating? (Minus the 20* difference Bill speaks of)

    I've been sleeping in my Happy medium every night for almost a week now.
    I haven't even told Bill yet how happy I am!
    So not a lot of testing, but I was concerned about the underquilt thing.
    But once I got the hammock set up, total non-issue.
    I tried my SLD Trail winder, which I suppose is fabric CLEWS, sort of....
    It worked fine.
    I've been using a DIY down, plain Jane rectangular quilt as my normal quilt do far.
    The up and over things are the ticket to keep it sealed in the curve.
    I tied a piece of shock cord loop to the loop on the quilt. Because shock cord holds its shape. Then I cut the gate latch off the up-n-over mitten hook. So it's just an open hook on the passager side that I get in and out of. It just made it a little more convenient.

    My quilt have kept a good seal with minimal fusing or adjustment.
    And I toss and turn A LOT.

    My quilts I never was able to make work on my Banyan Bridge, but the structure of the Banyan is vastly different, but then up-n-over hooks might help it too.

    If you don't have grosgain loops midship on your quilt and don't want to sew, I bet a mini paper binder clip would do the trick for an attachment point too.

    I've found that Slugger's method works amazingly to fit an incubator with Triangle Thingys

    A jrb mount Washington quilt works well- with a few suspension modifications! You will want to add some loops at the center of the sides of the hammock- so you can add a line of shock cord to anchor to the ridge line. (So it pulls the center of the uq up towards the hammock.and prevent cbs). Easy mod- works well!

    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

    Anyone use the Arrowhead Equipment New River Underquilt on the Luxury or Big Guy Bridge? And if so, which length (regular or long)? I am not sure of the exact specs on the AHE New River, but it is "rectangular and flat" per their website which seems like it could work.
