    Wooki Help Please

    I spent my first night using my new Wooki underquilt on my WB Eldorado and found that it kept wanting to migrate down off my left shoulder throughout the night, I woke up twice and pulled it back up. Is this typical for the Wooki? I read a lot about the set it and forget it nature of the wookie, never read about any issues. I am certain that it's set up correctly and the connections at both ends are good and tight. If anyone with more experience has any insight or ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.

    The Wooki is lay-specific. Are you certain that you have the correct one?

    The down is migrating, ie shifting in the baffles? Or the entire UQ is moving downwards off your shoulder?

    The entire quilt is sliding down off my shoulder.

    You can use the bug net tie back straps on the Blackbird to run it through the loops on the sides of the Wooki to secure the sides. Jump to 3:25 on Shug's video for reference.

    I had it tied up however that's only at the foot box end, not at the head end. I never had any issues with the foot end whatsoever.

    I did have the foot end ~14" higher, I'll try a little higher tonight.

    Gotcha. Is yours the Wooki XL, or just the standard Wooki?

    When I use the BBXLC and Wooki XL, I sometimes have to adjust the Wooki side to side after first getting in, but then it pretty much stays there. If you lay in the hammock and open the net, is it very easy to shift the quilt from side to side or is there some resistance? Compared to traditionally suspended, non-asym UQ's, I find the Wooki requires more effort to move side to side when I am laying in it. I'd think that means it is less likely to shift unintentionally, though that's a problem I've not had much with any UQ.

    Could you share photos of each end of the Wooki and how you've got them attached to the ends of the hammock?
