thats really great where did you get the insulation at ???
I have been wanting to make a quilt for some time now.:You_Rock_Emoticon:

What Comfort rating would you give it mate? Man looks like a sweet bag.

Good idea that, looks very effective.

do you use the quilt on the ground or in a hammock?ive heard of them being used for both .I had a go at making a quilt myself but it was rubbish so i used it as a dog blancket/bed

Thanks it is very effective. I have been using them for years. I started with an 18 oz. quilt then started making my own. They really make sense to me. I have used them inside a hammock and bivy. They are easy to get into and easy to regulate body temperature. Any material under you in a sleeping bag that gets crushed/compressed does nothing for warmth. Your sleeping pad is what insulates you. I havn't been cold since I was car camping in a sleeping bag. Now I backpack with only a poncho tarp.

yes i like the idea it was just my method of building it that was rubbish i need a sewing machine
