    I picked up 3 back when they were on clearance, with the intention of sacrificing one and using it's down to help fill out one of the others. It was a HUGE mess, I wasn't able to get much down out due to static, lost a lot of down, and basically ended up with a walmart shopping bag amount that I can actually use

    Anyway, the plan was to fill one up so it actually be useful at it's rating, modify it slightly into a pea-pod, and then wash it in down proof in order to give it some water resistance. At least until I can afford something like a Micro MC III. We'll see how that goes

    Get the down wet first. Then you can easily scoop it out--or even rinse it out into a screen--and after you're sewn up, you can dry it.
    Haywire is my trail name, but I can't change it. Ha.

    Wish I had thought of that, thanks!

    I know this is an older thread, yet still very relevant.
    FWIW, I just posted in the For Sale forum one of these WalMart bags.
    Check it out if interested:

    I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, make sure I stay here.


    When I see lovers' names carved into a tree, I don't think it's cute. I think it's strange how so many people take knives on a date.
