    UQ and diagonal lie

    How effective is your UQ when you lie diagonally? I noticed that most pictures I see of winter setusp especially the peapod look as though they were meant for you to lie in line rather than on the diagonal
    If using a 3/4 UQ it seems it would be even more critical for you to lie in a straight line. Perhaps that is one of the reasons I can't get warm in my WBBB with the UQ.

    I am always on an angle. Less in the pod but more on a 2/3 UQ.

    I recommend that you look into a set of "Triangle Thingy's", yes its a real item, from Paul at Arrowhead Equipment. They really helped me to get the correct placement of a 3/4 length UQ while I was using my BB. Due to cold feet during the night I have since retired the 3/4 UQ for a new custom Incubator that is the bomb as the watermonkey would put it!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the video shug! Lots of good advice. Will be trying it out when I get my UQ.
