    top or bottom

    Just scored a down blanket from JCP at a rummage sale today for just a "thank you" !!!! So now the delimmea begins , Top quilt or bottom quilt I've already made a bottom quilt and It works nice but dosent compress the greatest . Should I start over and make a winter UQ or DIY a TQ . I feel like I just got given a million bucks and now I dont know what to do with it Im not a real cold or hot sleeper if that helps any and weight is not really an issue thanks to my roller pack.

    What would you do ? Thanks in advance - BOB

    If it were me I would do the uq first. Can always use the other as a tq or even a sleeping bag as a tq but a good uq is worth more to me. But that is just me.

    I have to agree with the UQ. Its easy to find something to pass as a TQ, like a sleeping bag, pile your clothes on you, use some other blankets, etc, but a good UQ is absolutely essential.

    +1 on the uq. Almost essential equipment for hammockers.
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."
