So I was finally able to order my wife a set of quilts from George. We patiently waited for the store to re-open and hopefully that is a good sign in regards to Georges recovery. I ordered a Reaper and Pepper in zero degrees overstuffed with a no taper foot box just like mine in Argon 90 but with morrocan blue exteriors and lime green interiors. Maybe now she will give me my set back lol. I told her that her trail name is "Groundhog" because once she gets into the quilts this winter it may be spring before we see her emerge again lol. I'll post pics when she gets them in. Please take your time George and best wishes.
I took your advise George..... "Oh grasshopper, I won't give you a beat down because you've suffered enough Wise man say give a man a quilt and he might not freeze to death, give him a LLG quilt and his wife will sleep better than him" . Now she will have her own and I can finally test mine after two years of having them lol :laugh:

I will definitely posts some pics. My colors are coyote brown and titanium grey mostly while hers is the morrocan blue and lime green. She wants to match her Trail lair hammock and UGQ Hanger 12 tarp. See pics below. Her tarp is that color combo.

Beautiful! Gotta love that Loco Libre design, and those colors look great (as I figured they would ;) )
Glad you shared, that color combo looks good. I love my LL quilts.

I have the same quilts for myself but prefer the coyote/grey combo. Thank you for the kind remarks. These will hopefully get tested this upcoming January in Linville Gorge.

Very pretty! Now you’ll have a happy wife, and you won’t be cold, either.

The wife and I both got to test our zero degree quilts this past weekend on our wilderness hike. It got down to 29°F at the coldest part of out trip and we had no issues. I measured mine at 1:30 am with an outside temp of 34°F and an inside temp of 84°F while tucked away under my SLD Winter Haven hiding from the slight breeze outside. I was wearing thermal long johns, wool socks, a fleece neck gator, and a cotton style knit cap. A definite success at these temps. Hopefully we will be able to test them at lower temps in January. Thanks George !

I second that... the tarp looks really cool! Are those rods packable?
Say OP what’s the skinny’s on the Tarp rods? I just did that to my tarp. The "rods" /tent poles I used are segmented into 26" pieces, but I have another version that is 13". I got them from https://www.questoutfitters.com/
There are the .344.

I apologize for the delayed reply. This is a UGQ Hangar 12 tarp with internal pole mods (two poles). I ordered the tarp that way after buying a used one from a fellow member on here. Many of my tarps have poles. I prefer my three pole mod on my SLD Winter Haven.
