DIY Primaloft UQ

[dirtwheels]

How about the tarp for the UQ and a custom pillow?

I picked up the primaloft from Paul @ Arrowhead Equipment a few months ago. I was making pillows with it (and still do) but I decided to experiment with making baffled underquilts. It's in that stuff sack pretty tight.. it could go smaller with a compression sack

whoa whoa whoa.. aren't you suppose to sweeten your end of the deal?

Like I said, I'm still considering the tarp.. I've got a few.. but none with end caps, doors, blast panels, or anything of that type. I've got to go outside and measure the height of the supports on my hammock stand, see if the "doors" will fit on it. But we're getting hammered with rain and wind right now. I'm just hoping that snow stays far FAR away..



Forgot to ask you too.. what's the condition on the tarp?

It's like new all of the stock guy lines are attached. It's the coyote brown 3 tieouts on each side, can't imagine the height being too much of a concern. It's just a pillow...

you said you love fishing. Any interest in a new fly rod case?

What is your approx trade value, so I can make accurate trade offers?

[hk2001]

I'd consider the trade value at between $130 and $150.

BTW, what's your concern regarding the height of your supports? The sides are 40".

Worried that the 2 braces on my hammock stand will not allow the doors to be used.

The length of the door to the center mitten hook on the bottom is about 38". If your upright angle was 45* and the you have 30" on each side of the tarp you should have about 48" of vertical or about 10" clear below the door.

(just measured).

Just measured the stand.. I get 38" of vertical clearance 3' in from the tie outs, which would leave 6'6" between the doors. No matter how I run the numbers I just don't think it's going to fit. And unlike a superfly, I can't fold the doors down around the uprights of the stand.
