Poncho Liner Mods.

Following instructions that can be found all over the web namely here, with the exception of adding on the snaps I modified my poncho liner to enable easier use as an underquilt for hammocking once the weather cools down some.

First as they show I made a slit in the edge piping on the short edge of the poncho liner, and ran some paracord through it, once through I added a cord lock, and a knot so it doesn't fall off. I then made a knot in the tie offs on each corner. Finished corner looked like this.

Then in order to hang it from the ridge line above the hammock, I made shock cord  bungees with carabiners to attach into the loop made by adding the knot to the tie offs in the corners. Each bungee is approximately 4ft long.

Finished ends look like this,
