I used to use a short quilt with my HH, and that seemed to work well in that there was very little pushing aside of the quilt to get in and out.

That's what I was thinking of doing. The Jarbidge from arrowhead seems to be just about the right size for it.Originally Posted by dakotaross
My 3/4 quilt is a fine length for getting in and out. Sometimes it is a challenge to get the shoulder to lay where it belongs, but some trial and error with tension and position usually squares that up.
Even with the added challenges, I really like my bottom entry HH. Somehow it feels more homey when you crawl in from the bottom.
I've been on the fence about what to do about insulation as well. I did some backyard camping last weekend with one of those cheap blue Walmart CCF pads wrapped in a fleece blanket and kept rather toasty. The only issue was that there was some condensation between the pad and fleece.
Next week, I'm going to try making one of these: http://theultimatehang.com/2013/01/d...ew-and-no-sew/
I've also considered the HHSS as it's a much lower cost alternative to the JRB Winter Nest which I'd love to own someday, but can't quite justify the cost.
