    Definitely been on this fence for a while, but will probably tilt before long, good job! Did you consider any other modifications from the plans? If not, aside from the clew, are there any you'd consider for the next version?

    Do it in spurts. Watch a couple youtube vids to get motivated, and cut out the fabric to your desired size, fold it up and set it somewhere you will see it. Repeat the process again, cut the insulation to size.
    You get the idea. Do an hour at a time, and in 5 hours you have an underquilt.

    I have considered changing the ends by folding under 2" of fabric instead of the 1" grosgrain. It would be lighter, and I can fold that into a channel for regular suspension, or use it to anchor snap points or loops for clew type suspension.
    Just mark and fold the fabric at each end and sew. When you turn it inside out, you now have the two inches of fabric to do with as you please.
    The same could be done for side channels as well.
    Edit: I like the jellyfish box style of differential top and bottom. It is more sewing, but you aren't dealing with pleats from differences in top and bottom fabric widths. I added 4" to the width, and 2" to the length of the olive fabric to keep from smashing the insulation when it is snugged up to the hammock.

    @Salt Here is a video of the box style differential jellyfish uses.

    Thanks @lorazepam. Nice video, appreciate arm/hand warmers. This definitely seems like a ton more work... Do you have the adjustable shock cord running down the sides?

    This one has no side channels. It seems to be ok the limited time I have had it up.

    +1 on folding the fabric over instead of using grosgrain, especially on the end channels. I think the grosgrain is a little too stiff for the end channels, a folded over fabric channel allows you to cinch up the ends a little easier.

    Also, a slight off-topic question: What kind of bike is covered up in the background? Forgive me if I have already asked the same question somewhere else.
