I use this pad everytime I go hanging it's warm and still flexible. The duct tape hold together well on the foam. I've been working alot since I made this pad that's why I never followed up. But yeah...

I took 2 a Walmart ccf pad and cut it into 2" strips. I then weaved them into a 30" x40" flexible pad duct taping the edges. I have used it in my diy dl hammock down to 30. I also use it in my...

I made that 2" lattice underpad. I'm not really crafty at all. But it has good posibilty's. Search under lattice. Not as time consuming as one would think. Nothing like making a down underquilt....

Thats cool! I've seen to hammocks they sell that go between the front seat and back seat headrest in a truck. But this is true a true Dog hammock.

I don't know if its my size that causes it but a reguler ccf gets hard under my weight(340) and causes a sore hip in morning.

Yeah the reflextex is holding alot of heat in is true but the weaved ccf also causes an air gap which helps the reflectex work better. Plus upper 30's F. Is close to as cold as I have ever went and I...
