I wanna try to get away from the typical Sleeping Bag and sleeping inside a tent. Do you have any tips and ideas on what is the best practical ideas and equipment for sleeping out in open minus the cold seasons. Another cool video on quilt sleeping bags. I recently bought a Boulder Co. Day pack off of Amazon and it work great for practically everything including perfect and ideal for day hikes and and bike runs on trails and stuff. Check it out and its so affordable and makes a great companion for your usual Terra Hiker's backpack equipment, cheers. Amazon search Boulder Pack Co. Lightweight Foldable Travel & Hiking Backpack Day pack Bag

Used 40-degree, 950 fil, Regular length and width Enigma (bought new, but from EE's bargain section, otherwise probs wouldna sprung for 950 fil) on both PCT & CDT, and slept comfortably in it wearing a base-layer (tho I am a furnace in my sleep); I'm 5'7, 150-170 lbs (depending on if I've been hiking, and am a side/semi-fetal or belly sleeper who turns over often. Used it with short-length Neoair Xlite; rarely used quilt straps tho they fit just fine on that pad. Stay caffeinated!

My apologies for an extremely late comment
I do love my quilt I have a 20 degree from hang tight shop the underquilt not so happy with and he never bothered to replace it for getting back in touch with me but I do love that top quilt
The bottom grillz would most likely be for I would say maybe if I'm lucky what I'm doing now 50 degrees because it definitely isn't a 20

You were my first thru hike follow and still watch all your vids. I have always wondered why you never tried a quilt but to each their own. Glad to see your giving it a shot. EE is an excellent choice. I use the same brand and model and love it. Looking forward to seeing how things go for you. Thanks for the videos.

I bought a rumpl backpacking quilt a couple years ago because I didn't want one with a toe box so I could stretch out. Before that I would take my sleeping bag, unzip it all the way and throw it on top of me. My question is, what's the difference between doing that and a quilt with a toe box besides a little weight?

I tried a 28 degree quilt from ML Designs during a couple of years for my three season trips. I toss and turn all night and as a result was constantly waking up to cold drafts. I used a bivy sack with it and was never quite comfortable. I went back to regular sleeping bags and sleep much better now.

I bought my hiking sleeping bag at bargain hunt for 30 dollars its rated to 0 degrees. I have slept down to about 15 degrees in it and I was comfortable. I don't like hammocks though. Hammocks are colder than tents. It really just all depends on personal prefference.

Your profile says you dont take gear. I get wanting to stay authentic and not being influenced in your content. However I think you could do it an a very authentic way and provide your viewers an even better knowledge set on what's out there that's good and what's not good.

I love EE quilts. I have multiple Revelation's with the open foot box. On cold nights I'll stuff a sock in the hole in the foot box and it stays nice and warm. But on warmer nights it's even nicer to open the foot box to let air in. I'll never go back to sleeping bags.
