Ahhh... Missed it! How was the hang? I'll be watching for the 4th Annual Adirondack Hang next year.

This thread is dated, but I too ran across Nu-foam today and wondered how well it would work as thermal insulation in a double-layered hammock setup. I did a search here and this was the only...

Congrats, and howdy, I'm new as well and live just south of Rochester. Welcome!
