    DIY PLUQ Video Review

    I got brave this weekend and decided to cut up my poncho liner. I was able to get two great summer underquilts out of one liner. Here's a little review of what I ended up with.

    It rocks! I love the many ways you can use the poncho liner! Definitely a bargain. Very good video!

    My next poncho liner project is a pair of smokin' pants to wear around the fire on those chilly nights. Also good for sleeping.

    Keep up the good work. Definitely an easy and worthwhile project. Thanks for sharing.

    Ebay has a bunch of them that can be shipped to your door for $20 or even less.

    No stuff sack. I usually just stuff my quilts into my pack. Faster and easier
