Phone pocket on the quilts?

[kattdogg]

Orderd the minus 40 Carolina Reaper for the not black friday sale, now the wait lol! But laying in the hammock this weekend I had an idea that I know is probably not original but thought I would slap it up here. A pocket inside the top quilt or under quilt for your phone, the tq on your chest the uq right by your shoulder?

Why not try it out?! Sounds like it could possibly be nice to have, but the proof will be in the pudding!

I would think it would cause too much sag for an under quilt. Get yourself a Warbonnet hammock with either the shelf like on the XLC or the saddle bags on the Ridgerunner. I couldn't do without these as all my gear, gloves, hats, phone, battery charger, etc go in my saddle bags on the Ridgerunner.

Ive had warbonnet and sold it, not impressed, and i dont agree, the weight of a phone on the uq when you are laying in it is not going to cause it to sag unless its a 10lb phone, and im not thinking of storage i am thinking of keeping your phone warm or even your fuel for your stove warm

Trail Lair comes with a zippered pocket option.

I have the Warbonnet XLC and the RR. The storage options on both work well - except for keeping things (phones, etc) warm on a 15º night like last night. I didn't have pockets on either part of my baselayer (shirt, pants), but I did manage to keep my phone warm while sleeping. Since this is a family friendly forum, I can't publish how I solved the issue. Suffice it to say that the phone didn't contact my skin for those who may think, "Eww." A quilt pocket such as Kattdogg has in mind is intriguing.

I'm always open to new ideas. Even so, it's probably not something I'd want to do, as the weight of the phone would cause the pocket to pull on the stitching, possibly causing a down leak.

Insulated pouch we can attach to a seam? Possibly omni tape to the seam on the top edge of the TQ or the side seam of the UQ?

It is a great idea for us who camp in winter. My phone dies a quick death in the cold. It currently resides between my legs outside of my base layer. Sits in the bottom of my hammock. Doesn't usually move too much.

To George's point, if it could cause damage, not a great idea. So, just sew a pocket in your clothes if you don't have one! Maybe a Velcro pouch that will stick to your chest shirt, base layer etc, to keep warm and handy.

What if it was a separate pocket with the attatchment point on the grossgrain on the underquilt, maybe a velcro attached pocket on the topquilt. I purchased a uq dec 1st, i would be willing to be a tester of the idea lol
