You might begin to realize that I have way too much time on my hands after you read this one. I was just thinking about my last camping trip in January, with the temp. at 25 and a WC of 18. I was using my tarp on the ground, with my ALPS comfort pad and 2 wool blankets. But I had also gathered up a pile of leaves under me about 2 feet thick. Helped a lot with insulating from the ground. My thought is, why not take a piece of nylon that is filled with leaves and tie it up under the hammock? Talk about being light and packing small! Of course the leaves might be under 6" of snow, or you might be above the tree line, but I think that there might be many times that it could work. Has anyone ever tried this? What's your take on this crazy idea?
