Hey all,
I could use some advice on my Underquilt and Topquilt dilemma. So I'm planning to thru hike the appalachian trail, leaving late february of 2015, and am just now beginning to look into gear, specifically hammock gear's incubator 20 deg. underquilt and the burrow 20 deg. topquilt. Being that i'm a pretty broke college student trying to conserve money every way possible, I was thinking that when it comes time to shed my winter weight that instead of swapping my UQ and TQ for a warmer temp. setup I would just simply send home my underquilt. I am curious as to what some of you more experienced hangers thought about this. I personally am pretty new to hammocking and have never gotten the chance to use a UQ or TQ, so some advice would be greatly appreciated. (I'm also not set in stone on the hammock gear setup so if anyone has some advice on some cheaper gear that will get the job done as well that would be much appreciated.) Thanks a bunch!
