A great thing if you can find it is a mummy bag with synthetic insulation on the bottom and down on the top.
You're right, the chill you were getting was just evaporation, which is exactly what sweating is supposed to accomplish at 90 F. If you use the undercover with the pad and a space blanket, you get a...
Trying to use the sale to get a couple of new people into hammock camping. Defnitely worth the switch and not enough awareness among young people, IMO.
For future ref those are "binder clips"
It depends on what you're looking for really, that's why there's different models.
You need to consider your height and weight, how roomy you want the hammock to be, and what your pack...
I came across the idea of hammock camping when I was looking into ultralight backpacking, and it immediately appealed to me, since it solves all the issues with tents that I don't like (pack volume,...
I guess I wasn't clear (also I meant "layers" not "liners"), but I meant to say he might have stayed warm more easily (with all the same gear) by wearing fewer clothes inside his sleeping bag, and...
I haven't gone down to temperatures that low myself, but it looks like you're wearing an awful lot of liners inside your bag. If you had a synthetic, high-loft bag with that much insulation...
It's a down/synthetic hybrid, with synthetic material for the back, footbox and hood, while the top is a layer of synthetic over a layer of down for loft. It's weird, but I've never seen this kind of...
Hey, dirtbagging's definitely got its merits. I've slept at freezing temp in a ratty old free t-shirt in a tent that was worth less than the shirt.
Recently though I had some extra money and...
Ah. I've got a -20C bag (roughly -5F), but it only weighs about 4.4 lb and packs down to 15L. But hey, I'm Canadian, so it's just easier/cheaper for me to get ahold of that kind of gear.
Kind of a newbie question here, but wouldn't it be easier to take the system down to lower temperatures just by beefing up your sleeping bag? I recently used an HH to well below freezing with no...
From what I read before actually buying a hammock, it looks like Hennessy is roughly equivalent to something like say, Shun knives.
Pretty decent all around and high quality for the average user,...
I'm leaning towards buying it, particularly because my sleeping pad is currently the bulkiest thing I have to pack for camping.
One thing I want to ask is if the included stuff sack is really...
Currently debating with myself whether or not this is worth it. I don't do much winter camping, but this would be a great lightweight/compact alternative to a sleeping pad.
Think it's worth the...
