    Summer Hang?? Wifes First Trip

    So I have talked my wife into going on a kayak trip (her first) and we will be hanging on the trip (another first for her)!!! Scared for me yet, yes, me too! SO my question is as the temperatures in N Alabama shoud get to the 66-70 mark at night. I only have one UQ and will invest in another summer quilt if you guys think it is necessary. I am going to let her have mine of course. So the question is will I get cold at those temperatures without a UQ of my own? I am a cold weather camper so I have never really delt with this problem as of yet. I am also a noob at all of this as I was bit by the bug last fall. Any advice is appreciated!

    Chances are you will get cold so take a pad to sleep on. If your wife will going on a regular basis, bite the bullet and get another UQ
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    Do you have a decent sleeping bag? I slept in a 20deg bag with no UQ at around 60 deg last week and was fine. I had a pad with me, but didn't use it. YMMV

    UQ

    I have plenty of summer to winter bags and lots of wool blankets that I usually use in place of a pad. I have tried several pads and just cant bring myself to like them. I was just really wanting someone to tell me to go ahead and get a new UQ! Thanks gunner76!!! Just needed a push!
