Next Friday night, I'm planning my first overnight in the hammock (Hennessy Explorer Deluxe Zip). I'd like to ask opinions about my strategy for bottom insulation for that first trip. I would expect around 55-60 F for an overnight low where I'll be sleeping.
I have a Big Anges 15 degree bag and I planned on taking my insulated air core pad (slightly inflated) and putting in the sleeve? Is this overkill for 55-60 F? I also have a Zlite sol that I used in the past under the Big Anges when camping in the 15-20F range. Should I put the Zlite perpendicular to the Big Agnes (under my shoulders)? I also have a surplus MSS sleep system. Would it be better to use the Goretex Bivy and patrol bag?
In a tent in this range, I would not even use a sleeping bag. I'd just use my Sea-to-Summit liner and sleep on top of the pad. I just don't have a clue what to expect. Long-term, I plan on pursuing the underquilt, but I do not want to be miserable until I can make that happen.
Thanks in Advance,
Mike
