Top and Under quilts in the same stuff sack?

[Womble]

I stuff all (hammock UQ TQ) in a compression bag. For my 20F I use a 19L bag which is comfortable to fill and then squeeze down to the size of a basket ball.

Plus 1 on the Lazy Slug Tube. The really live up to their name.

+1 for big trash bags! Works great and the price. I dont want to compress anything more than needed to fill the pack. Take 2 even.

I hate pack liners. Just freaking hate them. That is all.

So is your backpack waterproof? Seam sealed and all.
The #1 rule of a down owner is keep your down dry at all costs.

I like to loosly stuff my quilts in a thin drybag. Being loosly stuffed it fills the bottom of the pack and I feel they are protected from the heaviest rain or
an unexpected event like falling in a creek.

I had Adam at HG make me a roll-top cuben fiber stuff sack for my 0* Incubator and Burrow. I liked it so much I got one for both my HG 40* and 20* quilt sets. They're not completely waterproof, so I also put them in a trash bag.

I use a CF dry bag pack liner. My TQ, UQ, down jacket and sleep cloths get stuffed in together. It fills 2/3 of my packs volume - I could pack or compress much tighter if I needed the room. I don't like over compressing my down if I don't need to. On top of the closed pack liner goes my food bag, hammock and shell. This system has worked for me for a few years without failure.

I put leave hammock and quilts together and stuff into a trash bag in my pack. We have some gnarly brambles and all kinds of nasty pokies here. Never had a problem except with my skin. If you really have to sack them, OR has roll top waterproof stuff sacks, the orange ones. They're much lighter than the compression sacks and of course, waterproof.

You mentioned the price, so Cuben is probably out, but a few guys mentioned it. Yama Mountain Gear has a Cuben stuff sack kit you might look into for relatively inexpensive, not too much more than buying stuff sacks. Just make it the size you need. The piece that comes you could probably use in full and make a pack liner if desired or a few smaller ones. No sewing required.

All else, relax! Enjoy the woods however you want. Stuff sack, liner, or what have you! Cheers

I am in the process of putting a new pack system together- one of the deciding factors in what I purchased was that I wanted to have a modular system that allowed me to stuff the quilts, hammock, tarp etc into one bag which I could then unhook and leave at a base camp. This way I can take off with the rest of the pack on side trips and still have the basic necessities to survive. Also- my pack is still comfortable after removing the sleep system bag because everything will still fit right in the other compartments. (The thought process is I am gonna start by stuffing the quilts into the pack cover which gives them some additional protection and then they go into the camp bag with everything else I need to sleep including some non-essentials I don't need on side trips- socks, some extra food...)
I don't have the pack yet- its getting made. However, I am jazzed about the concept as I hated having to carry a big pack on side trips with very little of the volume getting used or worse taking an extra day pack with me. I also hated compressing my quilts etc into heavy balls that were uncomfortable to carry and left a bunch of unusable space.
I have no idea if this is the perfect or even best solution for me but I think its a good one and might be a helpful concept/idea for you.

It'll be a cold day in Hades when I leave my most expensive equipment at an unattended base camp.

I put both my top quilt and under quilt in the same waterproof roll-out stuff sack.
