    Shenendoah as under quilt

    Just got the Shenendoah to use as a summer under quilt.

    I didn't order the suspensions set because I had one like JRB uses.
    When I put it on the hammock, there is no adjusting toward one end or another, and it might work fine that way, but I am thinking I will make a suspension set that will allow some fine tuning, using 1/8" shock cord I have.

    The main question is, will the line lock 3 or the line lock light hold the shock cord, or should I use another cord, like zing it where the line lock is going to make the adjustment?

    Thanks
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    Both my partial UQ and full length fuse 1/8 shock cord with line lock 3 at the channel ends and I like the ability to fine tune as well. Line lock 3 calls for 2.5mm to 3mm cord for best hold and 1/8 is around 3mm.

    Thanks Twistytee.
    I thought the size would match, I just wasn't sure if the elasticity of the shock cord would keep it from getting a good bite.

    I think it helps having some elasticity so when moving around in the hammock the UQ has some give. The line locks hold the shock cord just fine. I picked up a used Shenendoah this winter but haven’t had a chance yet to try it as a UQ. I’d be interested to hear how your suspension tweaks work out.

    I used the Shenendoah one night in Linville Gorge.
    It only got down to about 50 but I feel sure it will take me a little lower.

    I attached line locks to each corner with 1/8" shock cord running to an S biner on the hammock's continuous loop.
    It was again suggested that it is not a bad idea to add a slippery half hitch to be sure it doesn't slip.

    So far, so good.

    I think the Master of Sector 7 demonstrates installing the Hudson River in this video. Should be the same for the Shenendoah.

    I have to remember to keep this in mind… I’ve never used any of my multi function quilts as UQ’s. Thanks for the update!

    Yes, I watched that, went back to review parts.

    I only stayed one night, along side 105.
    Shug and Hickery stayed for a few nights of backpacking, after we spent a few hours at the Livermush Festival in Marion on Saturday.

    You are welcome.
    Always good to share ideas.
    Health kept me away from backpacking for several years but now I'm gettin back into it and exited.
    Going over all my gear!
