    Any advice on customization?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on ordering a HG 20* Incubator with 3OZ overfill.

    I'm 6'6" and have a Kammok Roo.

    Any special considerations I should make or should I just order it stock?

    The underquilt in stock form will be fine. I would add a ridgeline to your hammock so that if you need to you can install some extra shock cord on one of the little d rings on the edge of the underquilt and throw it over the ridge line to a D ring on the other edge of the underquilt to help hold it up in colder weather.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the advice, I've been thinking about a ridgeline. Even if it isn't structural.

    Better to be safe than sorry!

    Think about extra width

    This will depend on how you lay in the hammock, but you could consider maybe going an 1 or so wider. I'm only making the suggestion based on your height and figure you're width might be larger than normal too.

    Don't have an underquilt, but may order one in a few weeks. Was considering the UG Zepplin because he builds it wider than most and I have a WBBB so it would cover both the footbox and my shoulders.

    Plenty of good things to say about the Incubator, but give them a call and ask their opinion too, it's an advantage of the cottage manufacturer. He'll talk to you about the product and how you want to use it and make recommendations.

    Thank you for the recommendation. I have emailed Adam to see what he advises.

    Good luck with your UQ!
