Inexpensive UQ for Boy Scout?

[GoatHanger]

Another vote for AHE Jarbidge here. My 7yr old son uses one, and sometimes I borrow it. Great quilt for the price. Picked it up for $75 last year.

Thanks, all! On the temp, I'm not sure which way to go. Probably a 40 and see how he likes it in the warmer months before spending more for a 0. I'll check out the Jarbridge.

The Jarbidge is where I was going with my question. It is a heck of a UQ at a heck of a price.

My vote is for a poncho liner. Double it and burn slits with a hot knife where needed to slide shock cord into the existing hem(s). No sewing required. You can slide a pad in between the doubled layers if you need more insulation.

The cheapest would be to convert a used sleeping bag. You could probably pick up something REAL cheap at goodwill.

I thoroughly enjoy a self inflating pad in the hammock. It adds a little extra comfort and they are cheaper and way more durable. Plus heaven forbid he has to go to ground he won't be S.O.L.

+1 especially if he has non-mummy style sleeping bag idle, just string up corners.

If the scouts made their own UQ, couldnt they get a sewing patch? Would be a good skill regardless. We all might be sewing for the Indians or Chinese soon?
