Sleeping pad

That's a fallacy.

I dunno... I'd agree with him 100%, both as a cyclist and as a hanger.

Same way I always sleep warm. Last week was camping got around 45 with the wind, and slept in just my silk sleeping bag liner.

how does it react though? is it like a closed cell pad? or like a yoga mat?
I guess what i'm trying to ask is how does it stuff into your bag?

Neither. It is NOT firm like a yoga mat, and looser than closed-foam. Think about a big old sheet of cotton, but much stronger. I can't describe it other than that. it stuffs like a fleece blanket. it is soft, and stuffable, but not compressible.

If you go to JoAnns and look at a sheet of polyester baton, it looks and feels like that, but holds it shape a bit better.

I stuff it loosely (not in a stuff sack) and stuff it down into the cracks and corners inside my pack. It is like a filler of sorts.

I hope that helps.

I was a cyclist before I got into hammocking. I met people who reasoned, I will buy a cheap bike to see if I like cycling. Many did not like cycling because they were riding cheap bikes. Check your gear out in the backyard. Get help from experienced hammockers.

That's a fallacy.

With a lot of this hammocking stuff, set-up is key and all the reading and research you can do might not help you get it right before you decide you don't like it and give up.

Take it easy,
