    I dabbled with a 3/4 UQ (WB Yeti) and I must say, I prefer using a pad with my double-layer WBBB.

    I would say upgrading a sleeping bag to a TQ is the least worthwhile if you've already got a bag. A good down mummy bag doubles as a topquilt when unzipped (you'll note that TQ's are cut much like an...

    No I never did, but I estimate the two bars add up to around a pound together, maybe a little more. So I guess without the bars, it's around 3ish lbs, maybe a bit more? Unfortunately there's no way...

    This is actually really interesting -- so, tie the cords tighter in the center of the spreader bar, to reduce the sag? If this works, it could breathe new life in the LBRH... but the instability...
