Had some issues this past weekend keeping my feet warm. Hammock is a Trail Lair in Hexon Wide with UQ hooks (no tieouts) and UQ is a HG Econ Incubator 20 degree. Previously, I'd used a Trail Winder asym without issue. With the Incubator, I attached the primary suspension lines to the UQ hooks on both sides and at both ends. No problems keeping it under my head, but the quilt kept shifting and leaving my feet hanging out in the cold. Only got about an hour or two of sleep at a time.
I've used the same UQ on other hammocks, including a wide Dutchware netless, but none of them have UQ hooks.
For folks with hammocks with UQ hooks, what's the best practice for hooking up a "traditional" UQ? I sleep head left, feet right. I'm thinking that it would make sense to connect the primary suspension line only on the left side at the head end and right side on the foot end?
