There was a plan: first upgrade my top insulation, then upgrade my tarp (superfly) then upgrade my under insulation from Super Shelter to an underquilt, then, finally, swap out my Hennessy for a Blackbird XLC.
Well all that went up in smoke, literally, last weekend in an apartment fire, so I'm trying to figure out how little I can get away with and keep my camping schedule intact.
I know that some double layer hammocks let you slide a pad between layers for insulation. I can't see any information on whether that is an option with the Blackbird XLC. If so, it would mean a fairly cheap way to supply some under insulation. In my Hennessy, trying to lay on top of a pad in the hammock was difficult, but if I could slip it between the layers, then a cheap, foam pad could keep me warm underneath, and almost anything would work for the top. If it doesn't work that way, then I have to scare up money for an underquilt and a hammock. Not impossible, but tricky within the time I have.
