So Im hanging out at the end of March.
Hammock and Tarp all sorted. & sleeping bags.
But I have no underquilt.
I do have
1 King-size winter Duvet from Asda (cheaper than a single!)
1 Double sleeping bag (Charity shop)(Rectangular)
1 Single Sleeping bag (Rectangular)
Lots of fleece blankets - 120x 150cm
Enough nylon coated material to cover one side of the quilt.
One wool blanket
Lots of thread, webbing bungee etc.
My current plan is to cut the quilt to an underblanket shape, cover one side in the nylon material, line the other side with fleece blanket, create tabs and attach bungee, and then do similar to both the Single sleeping bag opened out and then the double (as a double sided item) Creating three separate underblankets so I can use them in the summer as well, and just use one of them for this hang. (Or Two)
Keeping my wool blanket for general use.
What Im asking is, if you were to do this, would you do it a different way? I dont want to use any more material, but how would you go about this, for a hang in March (including not cutting them up and using them as rectangles underneath instead of the snugpack template, or just using the filling from the duvet and binning the top and bottom.
I have inflating mats and roll mats as well, but just want one winter underblanket to rule them all.
(The hang is for a giggle, I may have a tent on standby, I am used to winter camping in bad conditions, and if I dont like it I may go home or retire to the tent with even more sleeping bags etc, etc.
