First Night in a hammock

Good luck. +1 on raising the foot end

First night was not a bust! Went out with long underwear, blue pad and 50 degree bag. At 2:30am I woke up pretty cold. I couldn't get myself warmed back up so I came inside and dug up a sleeping bag someone had left at my house years ago. I never paid attention to it much but it turns out it was a LL Bean down bag! Not sure of the temp rating, but I took it out and climbed back in the hammock. Temp was 39. It didn't take long till I was toasty warm. I love my Hammock! Thanks HF Peeps!

Good luck .My first hang was the most uplifting thing that had hapend to me in all my years of camping, even after freezing my *** off,i still loved it and now its the only way i sleep out {or sleep in when my wife lets me}. So Good luck.
