Companion forum thread to: Notes from the Field: Hidden Lakes, Montana
Oct 21, 2015 at 2:20 pm #2233236Nice report. I am becoming a bigger fan of the overnight trips since they require so much less planning, so I like reading about others doing the same. One thing I noted was that you mentioned having to sew a couple of more tie down points in your top quilt. If you are talking about getting it tucked into your sides and around your shoulders, my Mid Atlantic Mountain Works top quilt has shot cord running in channels up the sides when pulled tighter, tuck the quilt in. Since that was one of the concerns I had with top quilts, thought I would mention it. Full disclosure it is my son that makes the quilts, but I think it is a good solution to the problem if that is what you are referring to. Tom

My friends tend to joke about my "wardrobe change" each morning just a short distance from camp or time after breakfast ;) It was nice to know some other people experience the same thing.
