A ''SAM'' Splint as I fell off a ladder last Wednesday then the ladder hit me and I've Broke my wrist and have possibly broke my knee, So I checked my E.M.T Kit and found that it wasn't in there?. So I had to get a new 1.

Have you found a good way of attaching the underquilt to the Hennessy? I always find it hard to get it to stay in place.

I'll take some photos in the daylight tomorrow Sara. Basically 6 mini carabiners is what I've used

Have a good night, it looks to me like you’ll be cozy. And sensibly, you’re within distance of civilisation. I’ve had a couple of disasters with UQs, one was a converted summer down bag that I snagged and tripped over while getting out for a pee in the night, resulting in huge clouds of feathers and equally huge clouds of foul language. The other, I just felt a “ping” and thought a knot was settling. Within 10 mins, the dreaded cold butt, shoulders, knees etc syndrome had settled in and a bleary eyed shine of my torch revealed the UQ on the ground :aarghh:. That was a PITA, I tried hanging it back up with paracord because the shock cord was shredded. It didn’t go well, and was a good exercise in the gaining of experience just after I really needed it.

Accepting defeat or facing a totally miserable night, I sheepishly woke my good lady, who was in a tiny tent with two dogs, and asked if she’d accept a complete idiot husband into the fold for the rest of the night. :D

I have a hennessey and the snugpak UQ, I also use mini carabiners, the shock-cord works well with them. I like it a lot and it really works well for me. I was surprised how well considering the size of the hammock. I like your set up but I usually use a bigger tarp higher up so I get a bit of a view.

I'll do them in sequence Sara

Firstly the B cords are attached by mini S carabiner to behind the suspension fixings

The tabs closest to the asym corner are attached to the tie outs with S biner

I've found I don't need to use the other tabs yet but could use another S biner to attach them to the hammock body and just pull the net zips to either side of them
