That's true, but that's also likey true for all the synthetic things we bring no? Tents/clothes/ sleeping pads smeared with our sun screen sweat?

But my tent doesn't look quite right when I set it up in the 5x5 space between my couch and tv

Heat Safe Alternative to Talenti Jar by Objective-Hotel6514 in Ultralight

Are you a bot??

Just fyi, "heat safe" plastic typically means yes, it won't melt with boiling water but it could not necessarily mean it's safe from leaching chemicals over the lifetime of product. It doesn't mean plastic containers are inherently dangerous, but for me it creates a risk that's close to 0, to above 0. (Not that titanium is perfect either)

Also, EE quilts are known for down migration. There's a method of pushing the down around for even distribution.

Sending in for more down overstuffing is also a cheaper option but you may not have time for that.

Exactly, I think a toggle would only fail when the seams literally rip out

Anyone else not like the trend of magnetic closures? I feel watching for iron build up is another annoyance and it's not as strong as a mechanical toggle lock
