    I've come to realize that i boils down to what works for you. I've had a full UQ to 19 degrees. No problems. I've had a 3/4 to 22 degrees. No problems. I'm learning how to insulate, how to dress, how to eat, how to sleep, and this is a great help. I appreciate everyone who invest here because you've taught me a lot. Here is what works for me.
    I prefer a full UQ below 35 degrees. I've been warm lower than that with a 3/4, but want the security of knowing I'm covered. Above that, it's 3/4 all the way for weight.
    Happy hanging everyone!

    I have both because I bought the 3/4 and needed something heavy duty for nights below 25.
    I now use a full length 0F as bottom and stack my 20F top quilt with my 20F 3/4 bottom for the top. I've gone to 0F and still felt warm.

    Below 20 degrees I prefer a full UQ. 20 and above a 3/4 will do.
    It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.

    I have the 20 degree yeti but want to start some winter trips with the dog, so I was thinking on investing in a 0 degree wookie but wondering if for only the handful of times winter camping in worth the 280 USD? Should I try the 20 degree yeti or will that be a terrible idea for a first time winter hang?

    If it gets to 0º and you only have a 20º Yeti you may be cold.
    Kinda got to pay to play.
    Or try throwing a pad in the hammock with Yeti you have. Maybe test first.

    3/4 or full length underquilts?

    I have a wooki 20 degree and a greylock 3

    Not sure how low stacking will get me - I'm assuming 0 perhaps - in a cold sleeper mind you

    I only have a 20 degree TQ but am days before finishing my DIY 10-20 "rated" TQ (giving me two TQ's)

    I want to get a zero full length possibly a wooki later this year and jump more into colder temps
