Have you done a how to video on how to make your jumbo sleeping pad. I want to make one and wonder if you have the floor plan specs or diagram or even pattern you could share. A video on it would be ideal! You have some exceptional ideas and will create the down underquilt.
@LoveRise Ya take a look at my vid "Skeeter Beater Modified" It shows my DIY insulation pad near middle of Vid. but I like your idea so I may make a vid on how i made id with dimensions.
@BigTVideos Yes I liked that video because my favorite hammock is the skeeter Beater. I don't like Henneseys for the bottom entry. Yet I just scored a Hennesey zip which I may like better than the Grand Trunk but for now it's Skeeter Beater for me and I really need to make one of those Pads. I'm also trying to devise a way to prevent is from slipping around in the hammock. I also just scored the neo air pad from an Rei garage sale for cheap. So your videos are timely. Keep up the great work!
You are so lucky! Being able to find a down vest at a thrift store, really, chances are that vest costed like at least $50 new. Do you know the fill and does it loft well to be a vest?
Awesome idea with the duel purpose vest !! That is really a great ides especially for late summer and fall, you probably will want more insulation than that but that is up to you..I think if you used a bigger down coat you could make and sell them. just a thought..
Wow what a great ideal with vest/quilt thing, great mod!

I think its a 550 or 600 and it lofts well. Last time I was at the thrift store they had 3 vest on the rack. Thanks for watching.

I really like your setup. I sleep in a hammock during the summer. during the winter I sleep on the ground. It's too cold for the hammock.
