Thanks for the welcome! I forgot that the heat is on the same side of the room as the hammock so maybe once I actually turn it on for the winter I'll be ok. And I'll keep a fleece blanket nearby until I can afford a proper underquilt (because yes I definitely want one for camping next year and I am not at all crafty enough to make my own, even with some of the excellent instructions out there)
I use an old rectangular sleeping bag with rocks in the corners tied to 550. Then that's hooked to my TL stand with bungee cords. Works good for me.

Meaning of the EOD Badge
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) is a science of vague assumptions based on debatable figures derived from inconclusive experiments, performed by persons of doubtful mental capability with instruments of problematic accuracy.
I have an insulated blanket that I use over the top of me. If it's 50 in my room while I'm sleeping, I'm a happy hammocker. If it's warmer then 75 I have a fan blowing across the hammock to cool me off.
I kinda sleep hot. Moving to a hammock was an attempt at saving on electricity during the summer when it's hard to get my corner of the house under 85 degrees until the we time of night. I can comfortably lay in the hammock with a fan on me. In a bed I'm a sopping mess.
I use an under quilt year round with my Brazilian. The UQ was easy to make using a cheap down throw.
