    CDT stuff sack?

    I recently sewed two CDT's together using Sargenvine's method for a top quilt and I'm happy with the result. However it is extremely difficult using the original stuff sack now that there are two quilt's. My question is, what size stuff sack should I get, or make, to fit the TQ? The reason is I think it will get frustrating out on the trail trying to cram the quilt in the original stuff sack. Any and all feedback will be appreciated.

    Cut out the bottom of one of the original stuff sacks and sew it to the other one. Looks like a tube, but works.

    You can find some compression sacks to work well with double cdts. I recommend REI so you can test what works. The sea to summit sil nylon dry bags with the air valve work awesome as well with anything down.

    Put it in a trash compactor bag at the bottom of your pack and ditch the stuff sack altogether. It'll change your life.

    If you can sew your cdt TQ I'm sure you can put together a decent compression sack. Make it twice the size of the OEM sack and you can compress it as much as you want.
