How to use a yeti in warm weather

[Ewker]

I used the Yeti this part week on my backpacking trip. My biggest complaint is the quilt slipping/sliding over to the other side or the edge being located in the middle of the hammock bottom. I had to constantly unzip the hammock all night just to find the Yeti. needless to say I didn't sleep much playing find the Yeti

Just checked out all three of those vids. Very well done.

hey eweker if you toss and turn alot that can happen, if you simply re-adjust it after changeing positions it will stay put as long as you're not moveing. i find this works best for me.

another couple easy things you can do are to tie it off to something on that side

i messed with a little leash the other day that attaches to the middle snap on the zipper side edge of the quilt and then hooks onto the rl, this makes it so it can't slide under. works pretty well, i think coldspring did something similar going from the spot where the sc exits near your left shoulder to the pull tabs or metal guy out ring on the bb

If you run the hammock suspension lines through the shock shock cord before hooking it onto the whipping bundles, I found that slippage was basically eliminated.

how so? not pictureing it.

The pic doesn't show too well but I have been hooking it over the suspension then around the bundle. I know it looks odd but it works well and if you hook it around the bundle the right way(the pic is head end) then it actually helps hold the position of the quilt in place very well. In the pic the cord to the right side loops behind and runs on the other far side of the hammock while the bit to the left runs the zippered or near side. I reverse this for the foot end.

[warbonnetguy]

i'll have to try it that way

what happened to the end of the sc? did you cut it or something, it should have been melted.

[Gordzilla]

Nope, as is. I keep meaning to melt it but well I get distracted easily.

so is there a difference between a "normal" yeti and i winter yeti, or are they one and the same?

Different quilts. Winter Yeti has a bit more downy goodness.
