I went with Undeground Quilts- Zeppelin 0 degree -Paul was very nice said he could get it done for me in time and came highly recommended. So thanks for all of the advice folks.

Thanks for the advice this is now off my table of consideration just now onto the headache of finding a UQ that will work by feb 1st. and can't order till the 17th... that is a tight window..

I am indeed looking up to gear up for the hang but not only that even if I get to use one at the hang or find one I like I will have 4-5 days to get me one for my trip to the Betram Trail.

I was thinking of getting the ENO Ember anyone with one that can give me your opinion? Like would it work for diagonal sleeping?

Found this video and in a pinch to get a quilt on a budget any thoughts on this idea? Or what is the best quality one that you can purchase for a low price atm?
