    You can get it here and from Hammockgear.com However, HG is all out right now. Also, Wilderness logics says it is from canada but it comes from North carolina. So, you don't have to worry about it going through customs. I've heard of people getting their down in 3 days.

    There is a place that I found, that's in OH, called Downlite (shopdownlite.com) do a search for bulk down.
    Last I checked 800 fill was $100 for a pound. They sell it in 1lb increments. They also have 600 and 700 fill. They have free shipping for order over $150.
    WildernessLogics 800+ fill is $104/ lb ($6.50/ oz) and free shipping for orders over $75.
    I personal havn't purchased any form either places but will be soon. I just havn't determined which place yet.
    I need a minimum of 1 lb for my current project and if all goes well, I will need an additional pound.

    edit:
    It looks like Hammockgear might have stopped selling DIY stuff. They took the whole DIY section off their web site...

    Check out TTTG. They have 900 FP down in 3oz bags for $30.00 currently in stock.

    How much are down are you looking for? I've heard of people reusing down from pillows they bought cheaply online.

    Cheers

    cheap down pillows are not a good idea most of the time they have more feathers then down in them and quilts made out of pillow down tend to be on the heavy side....
    it's best to pay the extra few bucks and get good quality down
    It puts the Underquilt on it's hammock ... It does this whenever it gets cold

    Email HG and verify they don't have it. He may be out but he has had some issues where the site doesn't show but he's still selling.
