Hey thanks for sharing this helpful video and well thought out mods.

Thanks for the feedback! Cheers

Really very helpful! Its a bit scary cutting the long shock chords on my UGQ underquilt, but I think its the way to go.

[@OneDegreeLife]

I feel you! I took pics and video before dismantling the original lines just in case I wanted to switch it back 😂 Luckily, I love this new setup and it makes life easier, faster, and it's lest line in the stuff sack.

Another great video.. Very informative.. How long are your pull out lines? Keep the videos coming..Thanks for sharing.

[@OneDegreeLife]

Pull out lines, the Zing It portion, is maybe around 6 ft. Just in case I need want to get to a nearby tree instead of the ground, etc. It's basically a just-in-case. For the middle pullouts, it's the same length from the anchor point (hiking stick, etc.) to the ground.

Good video. Thanks. I've ordered a Warbonnet, but it hasn't arrived yet. I have a question about the bug net suspension. Would it be possible to hang it from your tarp ridgeline? It seems like if you could, you might be able to keep it lifted, but using shorter line.

[@OneDegreeLife]

Yes! If you add additional prusik loops, this is a great way to go about it. You can add loops directly in the ridgeline, but the spacing would vary depending on tree span. So a knot in one place for one setup might not fall in the same place the next time - if that makes sense. So, however you decide to add anchor points will work!

Why not just buy a Warbonnet Lynx, or a Ridge Reaper from Loco Libre? Those are both RR specific UQ’s.

[@OneDegreeLife]

Hummm. Not familiar. I built my kit randomly over time as well. It’s the culmination of a few years of tweaking/trying things.

@@OneDegreeLife Dude, you should sell your under quilts and buy a Lynx! Could not fit better. They literally clip into the RR with biners.
