$20 3 oz winter sock solution

Another application for one of these bags is as a cheap underquilt instead of trash bags. Stuff a mylar blanket or two in. This material is quite useful and I expect this large bag format has more applications.

Silly question....with a drawstring on each end holding it on the hammock, how do you get in/out? Seems like it would take me some acrobatics or at least some significant contortions to get in, pull the bag over the outside of my hammock then cinch up the cord at the other end. What am I missing? Do I need a zipper in the middle or an opening like a fronkey bugnet?

why not a drawstring under you instead of a zipper. this is how I built my daughters bugnet. shock cord easier to find that a 3 foot zipper too. all you need is a CRL, and that is no big deal at all. will try to add pic later.

I think this is for a sheet http://dalenproducts.com/products/fr...harvest-guard/

I went to the website, it looks like you can buy this stuff in sheets thought the Walmart website. I just had to search "Dalen".

I might give this a try. Has anyone tried this below freezing yet?

[curvedinfinity]

It works. Have not tried it outside yet. Its like 80 degrees in here.

The bags are 12.6 oz BTW. also the seams are heat welds

I'm wondering if this can be used as a UQP/end protector. I'm picturing two bags with the strings over the ends and cut quite dramatically on the top, so it looks like when people put garbage bags on the end, but yet is left longer and sewn together on the bottom. Not a full on sock, a bit more warmth and some added moisture protection from the ends and underside?

Would this work? I'm thinking of using it this way with a smaller tarp for when it rains.

I caught this man's video on youtube where he made a winter sock cover (and an added, no sew zipper) out of a frost blanket made for plants. Cool idea!

And the way in the video is probably the way to do it, in my opinion.
