Has anyone used a quilt with a bivy? I made a quick quilt out of some stuff lying around the house and really like it. Didn't do anything fancy, just sewed a flat quilt, folded in half and sewed across the foot and up the side a little ways. I am hooked.
Interestingly, My first camping trips were near Grayson Highlands as a boy and used some of Mom's homemade quilts. If she had only had ripstop nylon and polyester batting.
I would like to try it with a small tarp using a simple set up. Was thinking about making something like a bivy without the hood. Something to put the pad, quilt and pillow in without using a ground cloth.
This might be another one of my dumb ideas, would like to hear from you all.
