    Test fit - HG Incubator 0F on WB Eldorado

    If anyone is bored out of their mind, and would like to be bored out their gourd, I made a couple of videos for a test fit in my basement hammock lab with my Hammock Gear 0F Incubator on my Warbonnet Eldorado. Just trying to get the under quilt setup fairly good before I take it out in the wild. I tried it in the backyard over the weekend and think I had the ends cinched up too tight, so brought it inside and readjusted everything. Seems to be about right now, but I would certainly welcome any feedback.

    It's almost as exciting as watching alcohol stoves boil water (which I love).

    I would give the primary suspension a good yank. Then make sure it's still centered where you want it with the secondary. Foot end could possibly be cinched a little tighter, looks like the might be a gap. I would check that after the first 2 suggestions.




    Watching water boil is definitely more exciting

    Thanks. I need to wrap the primary suspension around the foot end whipping I think; maybe just one loop would do. The tighter primary suspension on the foot end might just do it.

    I have messed around with the foot end cinch, and keep thinking I'm clinching it too tight. A backyard test hang last week at about 20F left me with a cold butt. That foot cinch is vexing me.

    Water boiling is WAY more exciting than this.

    Let that primary lift the empty hammock more than you would think.
    Also migrate your down to where needed.
    You foot end cinch seemed pretty good.

    Thanks Shug. I think wrapping that primary suspension around the whipping a turn (maybe two) should probably do it. I think my backyard test supports that too.

    Thanks for your great videos too, you probably have 20 more views over the last few weeks on the Adjusting a Hammock Gear Incubator .

    Thanks goobie and Shug for weighing in on my little OCD stuff.

    I tightened up the primary suspension on the foot end; wrapped it around the foot end whipping x2 seemed to do it, I also did a little asymmetrical tightening/loosening of the foot end secondary suspension to help it form fit a little better. Also a couple small tugs on the foot end cinch. I didn't think it would be exciting enough to record a new video. If anyone really wants one though, I would be happy to.
