Hello everyone! Here's Me introducing myself and I have a bunch of questions regarding my hammock camping setup!
I'm Nick! about ready to graduate high school, living in Park City, Utah.
I have 3 hammocks, a grand trunk double, which is very roomy,
an eno double and an eno single, the ENO single i might return to REI.
I also have the guardian bug net and the profly rain tarp, which work out well, and pack down nicely.
I camp (usually utah backpacking) quite a bit, almost every weekend from late-spring to late-fall, so I have no problem buying quality gear.
currently i use a thermarest and a sierra designs zissou 12 dridown bag, but sometimes my shoulders and sides get a bit chilly. would an UQ be a better option for me?
I'm looking at the Hammock gear Incubator 0 or 20, i would love to have 0 down the road because it's only 20 or 30 dollars more, but would it ever get too hot? Due to the fact that I "lurk" I know everyone on here loves Topquilts too, but i don't think i can fully commit to that because some mountains up here are above treeline, how sad. I'll be using a bivy or little tent for that.
basically what I am asking is would a 0 degree be too hot in mid summer? is it easy to vent? I've never slept in an underquilt, but I'm a fairly cold sleeper and the mountains have wild weather up here. (just got back from a snowstorm on kings peak, highest mtn in Utah, in AUGUST)
One last question, would it be easier to just sell everything and get an all in one? Is the clark vertex a good buy? how would I insulate it?
sorry for the lack of knowledge id just love to buy quality gear so I don't have to twice!
THANKS SO MUCH
