DIY Alpaca filled UQ

Great job! I bet this is really warm. Do you have any idea of what temperature this would get you to?

Thanks. I'm not sure yet. I added a water/wind proof undercover and gathered the sides to reduce the draftiness and I'll be trying it out Saturday night out with the scouts. I'll post with results after.

Quick update, got down to only the 50's Saturday night, unseasonably warm, but with dry weather and a slight breeze, the layer of pu coated nylon that I sewed onto the bottom of the Uq, I had no draftiness. My ridge line hooks failed though(bounced off the rl and I couldn't find it, turns out I was sleeping on it. LMAO.), so it wasn't staying put and I did notice a couple cold spots where it had slipped out from under me. So far so good. Two weeks from now is a camporee that will test it for two nights. I can't wait. Should be colder at night by then.
