i'm not really worried about weight but i am worried about size. with deciding to become a full time hanger i need to change some of my gear around and i found out that i want a warmer sleeping bag in a hammock. (i think i might have already brought that up on here once.) the only way i have found to get a warmer bag without gettign more bulk is to switch to down (as most of you have suggested, thanks by the way). well the price of the down bags is a little more than i can spend right now, atleast for what i want. well i have a question for ya'll.
i was talking to a guy i used to work with today and he has an old mummy synthetic bag he has just ordered a new one to replace. his wife smokes and the bag has been through a lot and really smells. he said i could have it if i wanted or he is going to trash it. i was wondering if i could remove the seam from one side take out all the syn. stuffing. wash it really well allow it to hang dry. stuff it with down and sew it back up?
