Oh to be youthful again with limitless energy!
Sorry for causing a ruckus.
Frogg Toggs.....I'll take it
Already paid.
My new 20* topquilt/FlightJacket arrived. A real beauty! Using it in the house until I can get a backyard hang in. For anyone pondering a purchase, this is a top-notch company making and selling...
I've been solo canoe camping in mine for years, many nights into the 20's with the fly and a good bag/pad. Piece of cake to setup.

I need a good finger of fine scotch to sleep like a bear.
I'm lost without it
Heres a different assumptoon. a wire/rope clothesline to the opposing tree would also leave the same marks, especially with heavy items on it. could have even been ground dwellers that hung a line...
following my Underground TQ construction progress/wait time on their list. Ahead of me in line for construction was an UG bottom quilt -25, was going up near Thunder Bay. Just recently. Was that...

Another neewb here. Agree with your findings. Using my JRB Greylock 3, I'm 0nly comfy with an additional pad (in my WBBB) into the high 30's.
So I just picked up a Arrowhead full-length New...
Thx Curlee
very professional
mine works great!
That orange/camo quilt is just the bees knees. Couldn't take it any longer and just went to undergrounds site and pulled the trigger on a 20* TQ with overstuff. That product they make looks fab!

Chuckling as I read your post. I'm in N central Minn. That indeed was a hard, wet blow. Would of been a heck of a fall blizzard if temps were lower!
Would have loved to test my new Mambajamba...
I'll take one
Thx Dave
I bought the olive quilt
Now I gotta find a topquilt I like. Have used a "poorman's" TQ till now, 15* mummy down bag I cut the zipper out of. I'm a wide guy, and need the extra width...
Thanks for the info in this thread. Just ordered my New River-long with Apex Climasheild upgrade, triangles, and Bear mt pillow in M-90. Hoping to do some camping in my WBBB and weeknights in the...
New Mambajamba owner here also. Can't wait to try it!
IMO, overstuff would be effective bottom and top. If I could put it one place only, the bottom.
new to hammock hangin'. But I've been buying on-line for 10 yrs. My dealings with the JRB crew have been 1st rate and best web buying experience I've ever had.

I solo paddle. I look each day for some beauty in nature, and try to capture it in my mind or sometimes via photography. I like to nap. Napped out in the water, floating on my thermarest, rope...
Mammajamba comes in a 11-footer, and comes with a door-kit option for now or to order later.

I'm 270 lb, 5'-11", 48 jacket and get shoulder squeeze in the Bear Mt. (yes I am over the weight limit for the hammock). I predict you would fare worse in the shoulders.
Thankyou Jack's for the great service. You stopped the presses, got it out same day and trusted me to make good on the postage increase.
Made it to rural addy in Minnesota in 1.5 days! Therefore...
Well I'm off to a week solo canoe tripping. Planning on 5 nights in my new J-R-B bear mt. bridge. I'm new to this hammock idea. I spent the last week trying to perfect the lie of my gatherd end...
Just bought a used 20 degree down bag on fleabay for $80. I will strip it and convert to a top quilt. You could easily convert it to a bottom quilt as well. Lots of cheaper options for you out...
Here's what this newb is gonna do.
Buy a used down (for compressability) bag on an auction site, for the temp rating I desire (remebering that I have a JRB UQ beneath me-I can probably get by with...
I'm making my Fronky out of tulle this weekend. For a noob like me, this method seems the most reasonable, easiest and cheap at this point.
I'm with the others. My last 20 yrs of ground sleeping has taught me that for my tastes, 0 degrees = 20 degrees for me, and a 20 degree = 40, etc.
Now I have virtually no hammock time, but I...
