site:hammockforums.net hammock forums: sleeping bag to a quilt
Here's one from a few days ago, with several links to other threads inside.
I am partial to this thread:

:rolleyes:
I just converted a 12 year old marmot helium 15f 775 long down bag to a top quilt. I did roughly the same thing that JohnSawyer describes in his thread.
It worked great as a mummy bag, but I haven't zipped it up in years and I always overheat when using it because It only has a half zip. Weighed 2.5 pounds before the conversion and a flat 2 pounds after the conversion.
I should be able to use it down to 15F still. We shall see.
The whole conversion took me about 3 hours. I broke a few needles and the sewing is pretty sloppy, but she will hold. And now I have the odd stray feather floating through my house.
Ha! I was finding down clusters for weeks... I did the work in the kitchen at one corner of the house, and found clusters 3 rooms away... :lol:Quote:
