With some cold temperatures moving into Northern Indiana, this was an awesome way to test out a new topquilt. Now being this quilt was made ......by me ?....for 0 degrees, precautions were taken. I decided to add a couple of extra quilts to the pack to supplement if needed. The camp that was chosen was also close enough to make a safe exit if need be.
There was one hero peice of gear that was briefly mentioned. The Hilltops fanny pack was outstanding! The easy entry rolltop closer was a game changer for ease of use. It proved to be a functional and convenient place to keep batteries and gloves. Check out Hilltop packs fanny packs and other great gear at....
In my quest to explore the world of DIY, I attempt an underquilt. With materials costing under $20 and cannibalizing kohls down quilt, it proves quite cost-effective.
