I for one would love to see a new "pod/peapod" section in the hammock forums as it really doesn't fit top quilt or under quilt sections, it's both!

I agree that pods are an in-between piece of gear with regards to classifying them. I don't know if there are enough threads about them to populate a separate forum, though.
Is anyone manufacturing a pod now besides the PolarPod by Tree to Tree Trail Gear?

I saw mention yesterday that grand trunk apparently has a product in the works that's a pod style sleeping system. I know several guys also use various types of sleeping bags as pods. Just my .02, but instead of creating a pod category, why not combine the current top insulation and bottom insulation categories into just one category called insulation, then have the sub categories of top quilts, under quilts, pads, and pods?
It may happen... it would just add an extra click, and one more place to have to look if you are unsure about what exactly you might be looking for. There are very few insulation items that don't fit in a current category, but I'm sure if enough get built and posted about -- the category may eventually merit its own forum.
Usually pods have been associated with the UQ category, because folks sometimes still end up using a (granted, very light) TQ inside of them.
Just my .02.

AS,NcPatrick....do you think all of the historical threads/posts on pods could be consolidated in the new sub for pods if it happens?

I would like to see it happen. I do think this type of insulation is in a category of it own. For a new user, it is often not clear that this is choice for them. I for one would have like to learn more about them earlier on in my learning curve. By giving them their own sub-forum this will offer new users more choices and options to consider.

Would this category include using various sleeping bags- such as Wren or Wallcreeper or a plain mummy bag- as a pod, in addition to the fully hammock encompassing commercial Pea Pod?
