I bought a 20* set last year. When i used them i didnt notice any smell. The lows where i was would get into the low 30's and i was still plenty warm, even sleeping in my underwear. I have no doubt i...

Forgot to mention that. Theyre about 12' apart from each other.

Mine is the red one. My daughter's is pink. And my wife's is the black/yellow one.



Come on over! My dogs may bark, but they don't bite (2 GSDs and a Pit/Boxer mix).

Too late. We have a temporary one back there now but have plans to put in a more permanent one eventually.

A few weeks back i asked some opinions on creating a backyard hang spot. I ended up getting 3 4"x6"x10' pressure treated beams and sunk them 3 feet deep. Cemented them in and added a crossbeam to...

Hello everyone.

It's been a while since I've been on here and I have a question that I'd like to ask the collective hive their opinion. I had a turtle dog stand that I'd put up in my backyard. And...

Words of advice? Take it slow. Measure twice (or even a third time) and cut once. It does take time, but you got this.
Ripstopbytheroll.com has some plans that I used. They're pretty good and take...

I second the figure 8.

Just wondering, but is there any particular reason you are not inclined to hang from the walls instead of the ceiling? With the eye bolts on the wall you wouldnt have any extra hardware to stow away...

Now that's a man with a lot of patience.

I would do the straight lines from the center out and leave the "points" to the outside of the quilt. This will put them either underneath you (sewn footbox) or on the outside edge (snap/zipper...

The problem with trying to make something "idiot proof" is that idiots are so ingenious!

I ordered a set of 20* quilts earlier this year and received them toward the end of July. I was able to take them with me on a week-long trip to the high Uinta Mountains (10,000') here in Utah this...

I recently got a Hammock Gear econ series 20 degree UQ and couldn't be more impressed with it. Highly recommend it if you can wait for it.

You could splice a small bead onto the end of your line.

I had mine loose in my pack. It fell out yesterday and it looks like I'll be buying a new one soon. Starting to think I may keep it stored with the...

I believe this is what they call a s**t storm.

I ordered my quilts on May 22 and lead time at that time was 8 weeks. Well, 8 weeks (and 2 days later), I got shipping notification. My quilts are on their way. Im looking forward to enjoying their...

I ordered my quilts at the end of May and am coming up close on the 8 weeks that it was at the time. I ordered the same as you minus the 1 oz of overfill.

I found them on Dutch's website. https://dutchwaregear.com/product/adjustable-wall-anchor/ I havent used them, but have heard they work really well.

But as others have said, eye bolts would work...

I finally got my quilts ordered last night. 8 week wait time now. Im regretting having to wait to order them. But until then I can try and practice patience.

Welcome from a Davis County hanger. The tarps are fun and rewarding to sleep under.

I made the RSBTR winter 12 last summer and didnt find the silpoly to be too difficult to work with. It is slippery and youll need to keep the two sides together when running your ridgeline,...

I once forgot my bottom insulation and fuel for my stove. Luckily i was only car camping and was able to sleep in my car. The wind howled all night and about 4 am it started to rain and turned to...

Oh that we could all be so lucky... :lol:

Thanks for all the responses everyone.

I do tend to sleep warm (according to my wife Im a furnace). I do about half and half car vs backpacking. Hoping to spend more weekends backpacking this...

I've pretty much decided I'm going to get a set of econ quilts, but just this last weekend I started mulling over the idea of getting a 3/4 quilt vs a full length quilt. My question is, other than...

Im sure you can get them on Amazon. I got mine from RSBTR.

Cant say I've been "lucky" enough to get down that cold yet.

And that second picture is absolutely beautiful.

Just got mine ordered. Cant wait for it to show up.

Look for Jellyfish's page on YouTube. Lots of great info and tutorials on there.

Mine was in my spam folder, so don't forget to check there.

The amount of down is really dependent on the size of the quilt. A 45" wide quilt won't use as much as a 55" wide quilt. Same goes for length.

Take the dimensions you want your quilt to be in...

I have a DIY winter 12 tarp from Ripstop by the Roll. Tarp, tieouts and aluminum stakes comes in at 24 oz. I think I spent less than $70 on everything for it. That would cut out a pound right there.

Glad you and your family are safe.

Ive used peanut butter to clean pine tar off my outdoor gear before. Just a little goes a long way. Just work it into the tar and it will remove it. Spray/wash/rinse the peanut butter off after and...

Thanks for the info guys. I may go with the long since this will be a 10 degree UQ. I plan on it being a nearly year-round quilt for me (It can get chilly at the top of the Rockies, even in the...

Hello,

Im looking at getting an Incubator UQ in the next month or so and Im not sure if I should get a standard length (78") or the long (83"). Im 6'2" and believe that the standard should be...

I was going to guess Hilo Bay area as well. I was lucky enough to live there when I was a teenager. Great view you have there.

Got a shipping notification today. Should be here Wednesday. Crossing my fingers they show up on time (or even early).

I couldnt pass up the deal today, even with the shipping. Hopefully they show up before I head out of town next Thursday. Then I can put them to use with my new DIY tarp.

Beautiful pics. Im heading up near Currant Creek next weekend and hopefully will have some pics from that.

That was my initial thought as well.

That's awesome. Glad theyre embracing it and allowing this in the parks. Hopefully theyre teaching good habits to everyone that goes there.

The red is bright, but its my favorite color.

I took the tieout reinforcement pattern from a tarp that i saw from Kitsap Cowboy, but thank you.

They do make out lives so much easier. I do plan on doing an internal pole mod soon. So that will be a nice addition to it when that's done.
