DIY, No-Sew, 2-layer, 2/3 Poncho Liner UQ

**Bondo** · 08-22-2012, 01:45

I have this set up and have had it into the upper 30's with a CCF pad slipped in the middle w/20* down bag as a top quilt. I was in light thermals and a beanie. Very toasty. Probably the best DIY find out there. Saves some major $$$.

bump, pics of the pluq stuffed or packed, even compressed, next to a comparable item for size?

I keep mine in a 6" x 12" 5L stuff sack.

i had been wanting to buy or make an UQ for a long while but just never really had the time or funds to commit to it. well, I finally nabbed two poncho liners off ebay -- 2/$20 -- and set to following @dejoha's instructions (awesome illustrations).

now, I'm off to give it a few test runs before going camping in Oct. with the family (of course, i'll be hammocking!).

nice Ty. I have the same nalgene btw. Got mine for a buck at goodwill

I think I got 3 or 4 of them at the outlet store for a couple bucks a piece. Not the greatest but gets the job done. Just as an FYI do not use that one for a hot water bottle, it will warp. Apparently it is not as high a quality as the nalgene branded ones.
