Hello there Hammock Forum!
This is my first post so hang in there with me (pun intended). This past summer season I had a few trips up to the Superior Hiking Trail with some friends. Prior to my adventure I made myself a down top quilt, which I am very proud of. It's a project I never want to undertake again, so a DIY down underquilt, not going to happen. The mean temperatures during my hikes were between 40-80, so at night there was obviously a need for some bottom insulation. I had been suggested by a friend to use a car wind shield reflector shade device, its made of reflectix which is what most people use for pot cozys. It was big enough for my person, but it just slide around and always got out from under me (I use a hennessy hammock btw). Now I recently came across a new reflective device, simply called the Blizzard Survival Blanket. It uses the principles of mylar technology, while integrating dead air space by making several layers of trangular shaped ridges. I have one of their bivys, and they kept me warm in chilly temps. Now I am just curious if it would be smart, or realistic to use one of these blankets with those triangular underquilt suspension devices to hang it beneath me, and if that would in fact would make a good insulating device. Any thoughts??
