... so the equipment pile is getting deep! i really liked using a JRB torso length underquilt with an HH overcover and an ultralight travel hammock. my situation is this: i like to lie on the diagonal, and it worked out great to fasten the JRB carabiners to the overcover side pull out points -- especially the knee one -- kept the underquilt right where it needed to be. with a bit warmer weather coming, i'll ditch the overcover and therefore lose my only pull out points. I'm concerned that the short underquilt won't stay under me when lying on a diagonal without something like a knee side pull out. also, i'm sewing-machine less. So: 1. how/what can i fasten to the flimsy ultralight fabric to have a pull out? is some kind of adhesive tape an option? hand sew ok? do i risk tearing the fabric? 2. should i do one or two pull outs? 3. should i just fasten the carabiner to the new pull out tabs, and then lie on the diagonal to shape the hammock/UQ, or should i actually use shock chord and stake out the pull outs? I'm amazed at what you all make, and hope you can help me with this stuff... thanks!
