Quick and dirty intro: Just getting into hiking/camping, decided hanging was the way to go, did my research, bought WBBB XLC with HG quilts. Anyways, my first night out I had all kinds of issues retaining heat. My UQ was all over the place. I thought I did a reasonable job adjusting it correctly before hand. Does anyone have tips on keeping the UQ locked into place? What about tips for tossers and turners? I do thrash around a bit before settling in at night. Thanks.
After spending more time with my setup, I've got it fitting just right. The quilt now looks like a trapezoid and fits pretty well, but I'm still having issues keeping it in place as I toss and turn. Any suggestions?
Quilt hooks?
Edit: I just saw you have a BB…hmm...
"eastern rain is made of skittles and one need only pack an appetite."
Adjust the right shoulder even tighter and if you have loops on your HG Uq go up and over your ridge line with some shock cord. If you can do it from where your foot box on your WBBB is to your left shoulder all the better. I've been intending to put a hook or button on instead but my solution has worked well enough that I haven't yet.

Go to Shugs videos. He has a wonderful set of UQ vids that may just help.
Enjoy and have fun with your family,before they have fun without you
I think adding hooks or buttons would be the way to go as well, but I'll try the cord method you suggested Beast. Appreciate it.
Also, thanks for pointing me to the video section Floridahanger. I didn't even realize it was there.
It's not just here. If you go to youtube, you can go to Shug's channel -->http://www.youtube.com/user/shugemery.

Enjoy and have fun with your family,
That guys an odd bird to say the least, but he puts in a lot of work on his videos. Good to see people up editing and production into them.
