    Underquilt out of old sleepingbag

    Here's what i did:
    I was in a hurry, I had 10 days trip coming and in about 30 minutes cut out and made underquilt. I made 6 fasteners for my hammock and used elastic cord on edges. Choosing spots for fasteneres was a little bit difficult, to get the right tension and so it's not loose or too trimmed to body. It also bends some hammock fabric together under the knees so it's easier to find good lay for feet.
    Shape of it is elliptical, somewhere between the middle and shoulders it's 80 cm wide, from legs and head it's 40 cm.
    Weight is about 400 grams, so it's a little bit heavy, though almost full body-length.
    Works great, made also a bag that fits hammock and underquilt, because mounting this thing on spot is pain in the arse.



    Have no pictures of it, but the body of UQ looks like this:
