Pea Pod Underquilt

Hey /out/. Has anyone here tried to do a homemade pea pod kinda under quilt like this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyJSF_okf24
If I did something like this could I spend the night in around 20* temperatures comfortably without any other insulation?

Eh, I thought about this... but I doubt it works all that well, unless you have a decent bag already, and then you'd prob not want to cut it up.

You can make a PLUQ, pic related, ans use a cheap $10 pad from walmart to get to 20 deg.

Snugpak sells a hammock cacoon for like $70. Same idea, might work better.

I'm in the process of making something similar, but instead of a shock cord at the foot and hood, I'm incorporating the hammock material into the seams to prevent draft. As long as the bag isn't being compressed anywhere, you'll get better insulation out of three inches of loft than you will out of any packable pad. That said, I am a little concerned about how well the bag material blocks wind, it may only work well with another outer shell. Remember, bags are intended to be used inside shelters where there aren't drafts.
