===> Hey, Mac ... that is exactly how I used them - to pull the end closer to the hammock, as it was falling away. Once I attached the 10" bungees to the CG, I attached the other end to the ridgeline right at the end of the hammock. This pulled the fleece blanket up snugly around the head-end of the hammock on both sides
The center points were not guyed-out away from the hammock, but loosely up over the HH bug netting to the ridgeline with paracord and a 6" bungee to allow for movement when I got in and out.
I figured-out a way of using these things to 'snug' the blanket up near the bottom, with the bungees providing some play when a load was applied.
That said, I think I still am getting a real UQ soon! This jury-rigged system will only last so long, temperature-wise, and it takes a lot of time and fiddling to set-up correctly.
I will try to post a pic when I get a chance. It worked, but is certainly not the best solution for an UQ! Works great for tarps, though!
