    Uq Asap

    So...here's the situation:

    I am currently nomadic. All of my things are in storage and I'm on the road. I want to hit SD before it gets full on into cold weather, but weather.com has temps in the Black Hills down to the mid 30's in the next week. I'd hoped to arrange with my family to maybe get a good UQ (perhaps a Crowsnest or Incubator) for Christmas, but I obviously can't wait that long to have adequate insulation.

    So, options:

    1) Does anyone have a spare UQ I could borrow for a month or two? This would allow me to wait on the fam.
    2) I could free up some money and buy one now...but are those quilts in stock? Or is it a several week process?

    Just trying to figure out what to do. I'd intended to be on the road weeks before I actually left, but...it couldn't be helped. Any suggestions?
    -->dvis.

    You could opt for a Jacks r Better. They have most of their stuff in stock. Really nice products.

    Challenge? The legends I hear is that he runs two sewing machines simultaneously, fills UQ's with down before they're even sewn, and never, ever sleeps! Oh, and he's suing the red-bull company for making a synthetic version of what flows in his veins!

    Really? All I heard was that he's a ginger.

    (edit to add - there goes any chance of him doing anything for me!)

    i was told he fills the quilts with his feet......
    like he has 4 hands ...

    this way he can fill and sew at the sme time
    It puts the Underquilt on it's hammock ... It does this whenever it gets cold
