    $2 Scrap UQ

    Trail Medic made one of these a few weeks ago, and he really liked it, I actually, I liked the idea and asked for a poncho liner for Father's Day so I could make one as well, cheap fair weather under Insulation and seem to work very well

    the UQ with just a cheaper scrap fabric. I'm thinking of using an older sleeping bag I have and altering it. I have a question for you what sewing machine do you use or suggest for me on a budget?
    i used an ANCIENT down bag that was my uncle's when he was a hunter. I chopped it up a little, sewed some channel loops onto it and use it as my "deep cold" UQ. It's ugly, but warm. I think sleeping bag parts alter easily for top and under quilts.

    Nice Michelle! I live in Asheville and have the SAME underquilt from foam and fabric!!!! My piece is almost full length and weighs about 8oz with suspension...I love it. I'm guessing the foam and fabric next to Diamond Brand? The box in the corner right !?

    there's some kind of saying about great minds....

    Oh I never thought about looking for older used sewing machine, I bet I could find one for cheap on craigslist. Thanks for the idea. Reading all these DYI projects makes me want to try!

    Very, well done! Good to see several Asheville people on HF. The Army Surplus on Smoky Park HWY has some good deals too, i picked up several used for under $10.00 each.

    What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other travel. Travel a thousand miles by train and you are a brute; pedal five hundred on a bicycle and you remain basically a bourgeois; paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a child of nature.

    That's pretty impressive, Michelle. It makes me want to drag out my sewing machine and try some DIY.

    How did you stitch through that thick material? Is your machine designed for that or did you just reconfigure a standard sewing machine?
