    This should get you right. For all my trail winders i literally hang them & don't have to touch them. I kind of wish jared didn't make them with an adjustable end but at the time many people thought the trail winder was just something to supplement with an existing uq....not realizing it is a uq hahahaha.

    Your vids helped convince me to get one, I’m sure I only watched it about 10 times. Says mine should be here Monday. So funny I ordered a new bug net for my bbxlc 3 days before the TW and it’s just 1 day different in delivery. When the Colorado package shipped 2 days earlier. I have no idea how Jared gets his packages to ship so quick from ship date to delivery date. Went with the camo version in a 40*

    I get what you mean. With hammock camping- where hardly anything is simplistic, it's nice to have at least one piece of gear that you don't need to fiddle with. Jared did send me another adjustable suspension end, so now both sides are elastic. My plan is to set it where I want it, and then just leave it there. Although I will use it to supplement my 20° UQ in deep winter, so having the added adjustability will be helpful.

    I like it and all, but my shock cord suspension broke and since I am an newbie I am trying to figure out now how to fix it. It came apart at the head end, and I don't know how to rig it. Contact Jared.

    Broke out my wife's Trail Lair for a quick late afternoon nap when I got home from work today. Got the Trail Winder dialed in as well. Instead of adding more, or longer, shock cord/loops, I extended the head end adjustment all the way out, and retied the foot/fixed end knot so that it left about 1.5in tail on each end. The UQ was then hanging loosely below the hammock as described earlier, climbed in and just barely cinched the quilt sides up as also described in an earlier post.

    Edit: last pic is a before, must've deleted the after pic.

    I was able to get out to the local park and test Trail Winder for a bit, with both shock-corded ends. it was super easy to get dialed in, and it was very comfortable and warm. Temps were right at 40*, and I laid in the hammock for over an hour- with no chills or cold spots. I even received a visit from a local police officer. He was very friendly, and assured me that I wasn't doing anything wrong, and was practicing good social distancing. He just wanted to make sure I was ok and not homeless, lol! He was also interested in my setup, and asked a bunch of questions about my hammock and quilts. He said he likes to camp, and had been considering getting a hammock to try out.
