    I guess it's all relative. I'm a cold sleeper plus it must have got down close to freezing. The forecast was a low of 40F but part of my camp towel was stiff in the morning.

    The cold was almost entirely from underneath. The full length. To cure the problem with pads I would have to have another 25X77 pad. Then you'd really be getting into some serious weight, I think....

    It's not the cold that made me quit. I know I can fix that. It just wasn't as much fun to me as day hiking. I think the weight of the pack (19 lbs total) and the fact that I had to conserve energy...

    I saw Survivorman do that. He hung the bottle from a string right in the fire. Looked like the bottle was deforming but it didn't break open.

    Now I'm wondering what's the best way to heat up a Nalgene bottle. :)

    Can I sit it next to the campfire? Will that melt the bottle? Or do I need to boil water in a pot and pour it in?

    Dang, I was thinking about a couple of rocks, not a bed of red hot coals!:laugh:

    I like the idea of bringing a rock inside your sleeping bag though. That seems like a really good idea.

    Hot rocks under hammock?

    I was wondering if you could help stay warm by placing rocks heated in your campfire under your hammock. Anyone ever tried this?

    JRB hammock with sleeping bag?

    I just ordered the BMBH. I have a large thermarest ridgerest (25"X77"). I'm wondering how the thermarest in the sleeve combined with a sleeping bag will work. Anyone tried this combination?

    Idea for a hammock.

    Has anyone ever tried making a hammock that has 4 supporting straps on all four corners. I was thinking it might give you more room at the head and foot ends since the fabric wouldn't gather together...
