PLUQ - suspension discomfort?
Over the weekend I picked up a poncho liner and made myself a PLUQ using the "no sew version 2" method (separate gathering cords and suspension cords).
Decided to give it a try tonight in the basement with my ENO DN. I attached the shock cords to the suspension clips, cinched it tight, cinched the gathering cords tight, and climbed in... Only to discover that laying on a slant leads to suspension cords across my forehead! This took just a few minute to start giving me a headache...
What did I do wrong?
Here are some pics:
Here the cord is running across my head:

PLUQ - suspension discomfort?
Tonight I tried something similar to what TomS suggested with the S biner but used the tail end of my Atlas strap in place of the camo cord... MUCH BETTER!
I'm assuming I got things closer to "right" since I started watching TV and snored myself awake at 2:30am! Basement stays a constant 65, and my back was plenty warm.
Now I just need to find something convenient to carry to put under my knees to keep from flaring sciatic nerve ;) woke up with a numb foot, but that's not a suspension issue.
