    Underquilt advice for bottom entry?

    I posted this in the Hennessy forum, but thought I may get more views here...
    I have an Eped. Deluxe Classic bottom entry and will be receiving a HG Incubator soon. I had planned on sending it to have a zipper mod done, but before I did, just wanted to ask if it would be possible and practical to use the UQ and bottom entry? It's funny when I bought this hammock I was just learning and thought the total package would be an asset-then I discovered I needed the bigger tarp and how much a pain the rope suspension was-before I'm done I'll have way more in this hammock than I would in a lighter a la carte option. Oh well, live and learn! Thanks for the advice.

    I have a bottom entry HH, and have a Potomac UQ to go with it. I can just pull the UQ over, get in the hammock, and it kind of slides back in place. The Potomac is designed to go with the asym HH though, so YMMV.

    Bite the bullet and get the zipper mod done. UQ with the bottom entry works, but you need to adjust the UQ a little once you're in. It's a pain to do with the bottom entry.

    A little advice from a Hennessy zipper mod owner...keep the bottom entry. I use it to help diagnose UQ issues and as quick storage for light items when used with an UQ. Never used for entry post zipper mod, even without the UQ.
