Our Homemade Gear

Just in time! we finished making our two-person 20 degree sleeping quilt (it has no bottom). The quilt goes with our extra large sleeping pad (two pads with sewn-in clips). We also made a lighter weight lid for Cassie's pack and a jacket for Nelson. We would have made more of our stuff but ran out of time after the quilt took about a week to make.


66" wide, 78" long, and 2.75" thick. It weighs less than 2 lbs!

Fully Baffled



It's stuffed with 18oz of goose down... very weird stuff



Filling the quilt with a scale and vacuum


Added some plastic snaps

Watch clips sewn into pad (taped for comfort)
They work really well, and block the draft
Lid for Cassie's pack






Nelson's Jacket (weighs less than 3oz!)
