No more vanishing pillow
Posted: Sun Jun 04, 2017 5:24 pm
I have a end-zip rab bivy bag and have lost track of the number of times I have woken up to find whatever I'd been using as a pillow has escaped in the night. Annoying if it's an inflatable pillow, properly annoying if it's a down jacket which is now soaking wet.
Had a very quick sewing machine crash course from my other half and knocked this up before heading out for BAM on the Norfolk coast.
Basically a long strip of material folded twice and sewn together. One of the folds was sewn up to make a pocket.
You slide it over your mat then stuff your jacket in the pocket. And it's still there in the morning.
Doesn't look too flash, but worked a treat and only took 10min to bodge together from a bit of old tent inner.
