[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 219595, member: 4683"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Look at hennessy's website -at their underquilt and read the reviews on it -it will easily get you down past 40* 40* is childsplay in a hammock w/ todays equipment. There are so many pieces of equipment out there now -there is a combination for most any weather you will run into. On the jacksrbetter.com thread i posted -you can get a tent that wraps around the ends of a hammock ,you can get goosedown underquilts -overquilts -goosedown quilts that you can also wear around camp.Very versatile set ups. Imagine laying in a hammock with a 5" thick goosedown underquilt wrapped completely around you and the hammock ,w/a 5" loft quilt/bag over the top of you -inside of a sealed off tent to break the wind. Sounds better than a blow up pad laying on the ground plus the hammock -underquilt,overquilt/coat is just as light and more compact. I've camped quite a bit and sleeping on the ground has never been comfortable for me ,especially since i broke my back 4yrs ago. I read and post over on 24hr campfire -backpack hunting area- and some of the guys -Eremicus comes to mind-he can sleep on a log w/a paper towel over him -lol. Actually many just use a bivy w/a half pad and chemical handwarmers. Me i ain't that robust -after a long day humping a backpack up and down mountains -i want as comfortable a bed as i can get. Lightweight backpack camping sure ain't cheap... Root around over at hammock forums dot com -a lot of good equipment and ideas. Good luck -Mike [/QUOTE]
