Finished the DIY Bag-Underquilt...now a few questions

[Cole]

Cut down old sleeping bag and sewed GG channels on. Feed a loop of 1/4" shock cord and called it done.



First thing I noticed is that is MUCH warmer with it! not sure I would want it unless it got down under 60.

Second, the shock cord seems close the blackbird in on me. Is that Normal?

Third, the cord is fighting with my head when I lay diagonal. Is there a fix for that?

Might try to see some GG loops on the corners and connect it to the hammock with 4 short pieces of shock cord & biners. Anyone think this a better way to hang full length quilt?

Shug has a good video on youtube about hanging a full underquilt, and he hangs it under a blackbird.

An UQ does tend to "close in" a hammock some what. Your's may be excessive due to the 1/4" shock cord.

UQ suspension is usually 1/8" shock cord. Unless yours is so heavy that it requires the 1/4", give the lighter cord a try.

Thanks for the tip!
