    Finished DIY UQ!

    This afternoon I finished up my new 3/4 UQ! It's 45" wide by 52" long with 10 chambers with a half ounce of down each for a total of 5oz. Hoping this will get me to 35* but looking for 40* comfortably. Overall I think it turned out great... even better than I thought it would! Next up is the TQ!

    Nice looking. Is it sewn through or baffles?

    It's gonna be colder than those temps this weekend where I'm going... I'm considering brining it and testing it out, but I might just bring my winter incubator....decisions decisions

    you could always take both if it's car camping and swap out if needed.
