    What sort of UQ do you use...

    ...with your doublenest? I have been looking around, and wanted some opinions. No need for the any will do response, I am sure they are all well-made, but I'd like personal stories with maybe a pro and con or two?

    My son uses, and likes, a DIY copy of a JRB Hudson River.

    Warmer tarp blanket is a lot cheaper than a real UQ and a lot lighter and it is also multi use. There wind proof and water proof, also a lot less bulk and weight to have to carry. warmer.com I think is the web site. They are around $15.00.

    On my ENO DN's I have used the KAQ New River UQ and a DIY version of the Jarbridge UQ from Arrowhead Equipment The only con I have found is the Jarbridge is too short for my tastes, I have restless legs at night in the hammock and could not keep my feet on a pad........... Good luck in the quest for UQ Nirvana!!!!!!!

    Check out Leigh's UQ's. They are awesome and a great price. Warbonnet makes a great one too and a good price. Both are very warm.
