Nice!

Thanks for the pic!!! I'm sold. Just gotta wait to get paid next week.
Got off the phone with my wife... told her I was buying another TQ. She laughed and said it doesn't surprise her.
That's correct. It's not compressed in the stuff sack. I'd say it would be no sweat to make it 10% smaller.
True... when IX gets soaked, the nonwoven polypro scrim needs to be dried. It can take a wetting without problem, though.

Mac,
You said it's probably only good down to 50* by itself. Is that a conservative guess?
Your results may differ, but I find that IX on top does not perform as well as IX underneath. I am not certain why that it...
If I put a fleece sleeping bag liner inside the Bedroll, it will take me to freezing.

Are you saying you have a hot butt?
This is what I have been coming to understand too. Can't wait to test this out!
Mac have you ran into any problems with condensation in your footbox...
the one i made i found that the footbox does not breath well ...
i had condensation in it last night ... i made my footbox like GvilleDave did
i'm thinking of putting a airhole in mine that can be closed with omni tape to fix the problem
It puts the Underquilt on it's hammock ... It does this whenever it gets cold
That's the way my design worked... I haven't made one in quite a while. I am about to reintroduce it with nylon covers. Personally, I have had no trouble with footbox condensation, but as I said, I have not used it in mild conditions.
The nylon cover is key; IX makes condensation when it's right against you. The ventilated footbox works, if you have hot feet.

yeah i don't have a cover over the IX on the inside
only on the outside .... i'm going to try the airhole once i get a chance
i was trying it out in the house so that may have had something to do with it
