===> Yeah, I had an old bag, too, but I divorced her. the new bag won't come hammocking with me (yet!).Looking good Shug
I tried the same thing with an old bag a few years ago but it was just too tight around the leg end and didn't really work too well. Now that looks like a good sized bag and it doesn't look too tight, I think you're onto a winner there my friend.
Ooh you have lots of yellow snow, that's the bad stuff, don't eat it or boil it

Me: "No thanks! I married one!"
Wife: "SMACK!" upside the head!

Nice review Shug. I've said it before but it would be nice if TTTG could modify the PeaPod or one of the other vendors could make a similar offering to have a zipper enclosure on top rather than the velcro. I'd be interested in something like that for the 0 degree and lower range. I know the velcro enclosure works but the zipper just seems like less hassle. Anyone know if there any down bags out there that are wider that could be made to work like Shug rigged his?
This is the one I have pizza .... pretty darn good. Closed it today with WB Black Mamba, Winter Yeti and FrankenQuilt around my feet!!!

Nice bag. What kind of down does WM use in it? Is it conservatively rated? Seems like with 5" of loft it would be rated lower than 20F?
850 Down .... loft counts top and bottom so pretty good for a pod. So it seems so far!
When I used for ground camping 20º seemed fairly accurate.

Shug, what did you make that bib out of, just a piece of fleece? How quick is it to dry out the next day and be ready for the next nights use?
Pizza, that is 5" total loft, top and bottom, and that would usually be a 20 rating. Actually, same loft and temp rating as the Speer PeaPod 20 model.
