    Almost Score - down bag for $10

    at salvation army.

    Was going to make an UQ out of it but it weighs about 4#-8oz which sucks so maybe I will give it to the grandkids and let them hump it.

    4# of down in a bag? holy cow....

    Is it a mil-surplus bag? Vintage 50's? If so, it's not down, it's chicken feathers....

    Lol, just sold my M-1949 arctic bag pair (inner and outer bags) for $60. They were in great shape, and sold them to an older gentleman who "missed" his from the Korean War...
