    My jarbidge 20 degree felt great at 60 degrees when I just vented the ends as loose as they would go. Didn't overheat, didn't feel chilled. I was impressed by that by last trip out.

    I had Dutchware two piece sleeves but ended up sewing them together into one. That was for my tarp though. It might be easy to sew them together, cut to size and hem the cut end.

    These are some good things to think about, thanks. It does seem like if it was internal baffle damage that some of the down would migrate back but I can't seem to get any down to show up inside that...

    These are great tips! I got up early this morning and did some backyard testing of these ideas. I had never thought about attaching directly to the quilt. I do have a Kam snap kit. I used some clamps...

    Well said! That's what got me into Hammock Camping, getting off the ground and crawling around inside a backpacking tent on my hands and knees gets tougher. I also like the openness of a tarp but I'm...

    Thanks for the kind words. I did update the ridgeline tape by cutting off the original one and sewing the whole ridgeline over with wider tape. MUCH easier with the 1 1/2” tape. I feel better but the...
