I wanna get down

[Kevin B.]

How do you get down off an elephant? You don't, you get down off a duck.

I'm looking for down, of the super cheap/free variety. I thought I'd find plenty trolling the DI and Goodwill stores, but I've struck out. So I'm casting a wider net... old comforters, pillows, coats, whatever, I can use it. If you've got anything kicking around that you don't want, let me know.

Any size in particular?
I'm sure we have some coats from last year the kids have grown out of.

 

[Kevin B.]

Size is utterly irrelevant.

There's a pretty busy duck pond in Taylorsville...

I'm relatively certain that sort of aquisition is frowned upon, more's the pity.

Talk to Sami. He knows more about getting/being down than he will ever admit. Before he was awesome(?) it was his job.

Are those 100% down? Somebody told me once those were like a 25% down/75% feather mix.

Don't know to be honest.

Good moses! No, I believe I'll start at a smaller scale than that. I've got a cheapo bag that I'm going to rip apart and sew baffles and restuff for a superlight summer bag.

This is all slowly coming to me...

You are needing the batting from the coats, I don't have anything to offer, sorry, I thought you were after coats for donations to people in need.

Just a little slow, my bad

Red is not the ideal color for that bag - It looks way too much like something it shouldn't look like.
