My adapted hiking quilt is back with me, its taken a while to return to me. I wanted to find a quick and easy way to keep warm, or warmer, during the colder months of the year when camping or bivvying. I had an old down sleeping bag and my wife's friend has cut it to size and has made it into a rectangular 'throwover' for me.
My plan is to 'toggle-attach' the 'throwover' along one side of my quilt. I wiil either be rolled up or just scrunched it up alongside me ready for use inside my bivvy or inside mky tent. If I wake up in the night feeing cold all I have to do is pull the 'throwover' over me, thereby creating a double-layer quilt and hope this is just enough to keep me going until dawn. The idea is that if I then get too hot I can just throw off the 'throwover' and push it to one side again. Well thats the plan, I've just got to camp out (in the garden first) to see if it will work in the way that I want it too?
