I started with the following bags:
58 Pattern Down Sleeping Bag. (the one with the waterproof bottom - sometimes called the bouncing bomb i believe)
Snugpak jungle Sleeping Bag.
The snugpak one has an inner filling of TravelSoft (An ultra lightweight high-loft insulation). The bag is rated at...
Daft.
It's not an underblanket. It's a sleeping bag for inside the hammock. The point is that the sleeping bag only has insulation on the top half of the bag. Thereby keeping me warm but cutting down on weight.
I also have a diy underblanket I made which does the job of keeping my back warm.
If you mean the down in the top half of the bag will settle to my sides when i am in the bag, then it might well do that. but i still think it give me some protection from the cold. Hopefully when i toss and turn in the night it will all get re-arranged.
Here are a few pics.

It wasnt that complicated. A few minutes sewing the jungle bag. An evening spent picking apart the stitching in the 58 bag. Then 10 mins in the garden transferring down from one to the other. Then a few more minutes sewing it up.

Hi
For a little project i am trying out I require 6 tent pegs. They need to be the ordinary metal tents pegs. The stronger the better.

Thanks
Very kind of you to offer but I will say no. I just like to see items go to homes where they might actually be used. Maybe put a bit extra in a charity collection next time you see one.

Hi Barney and welcome to the forum
As you will most likely be going on day hikes for the foreseeable future how about:
- A pair of binoculars
- Spoon knife for working on your kuksa while waiting for the water to boil.
It might go without saying but i will say it anyway. I always carry a...
As Requested
It does have some marks on it that look like they may have been made by sticky tape
I cannot comment on its waterproof qualities as i have never used it.
Probably a long shot but thought nothing ventured nothing gained.
I am looking for a few bits of padding to make my rucksack more comfortable.
I reckon any size would be useful.
Thanks
