I have three sets this way and they have worked great. Definitely once I got the UQ adjusted right.

Hah! Nice! I like the idea of having some blaze orange to make a show if I need to attract attention in an emergency.

I did the same with the channels, both on the ends and the side. Sewed up channels like you said, pinned them inside, and off I went. Worked like a champ. The head a foot channels I used ripstop as well, as I predicted (correctly) that they would draw up a lot nicer than grosgrain.

The black outer is also calendered with the smooth side turned in for wind protection.

Very happy with the outcome. Glad to see you've found the same!

My thoughts exactly about the blaze orange. I do wish I went with calendared for the outside though. But still happy with results. And yes the channels at the head and foot do work well.

Happy Hangin!!
