Hello everyone,
So after a 6-7 hiatus from the outdoors scene (three kids) I am finally back! I return with a 5yo that loves the outdoors and a wife/set of twins that do not, but may. Right now I am a ground dweller as my son sometimes needs attention through the night, but will likely end up back in a hammock. I'm gearing back up now and decided to make a set of TQ's for my son and I. My wife is very good at sewing, but I am not and I will never be. Let me say that again, zero sewing ability from this guy. So I started going through the DIY forums and looking at various things and crap, it is a lot.
I wanted to see what some of your opinions are on TQ's that will also be used on the ground. I don't plan to remake these guys over and over, three children tear my wallet up pretty quickly, Haha. I can tell you I'm 6'2", 275lb and wear a size 16 shoe. So right off the bat a sewn foot box is OUT. I was thinking of a zipper, but saw that some people like snaps. I think I would do fine with either of these options. Is there anything special that I might want to do for a TQ that would be used both in a hammock and on the ground? I picked up 10yds of 1.6 HyperD and 5yds of climashield 3.6 from RSBTR, so I should have plenty of material to work with. I live in Louisiana and sleep fairly hot, so I felt this would be the best for middle of the road comfort.
So yeah, any insight that I can gleam from the community would be great for our TQ's. Thanks in advance!
ETA: Sewing tips! I'll take them.
