Anybody tried this?  I'm just imagining a layer of fluffed-up down
inbetween the frozen ground and my body.  Ooohhhh....

But the whole "pumping-it-up" thing scares me.  Sounds like a whole lot of
trouble (and extra parts to break).  24 oz. is a little on the heavy side,
too, but all that warm fluffy down under my cold, tired body sounds so
good.  Experiences??
