Being new and cheap, I was planning to use a pad for a while. Though it is clear from reading that 'everyone' ends up in a UQ sooner or later. So with that in mind I was wondering how to rate an UQ if converting a sleeping bag to a full length UQ. I got a VERY thin walmart bag on clearance the other day. 40* is their claim, 2#. I am planning to use it as a TQ, but was wondering what would a realistic temp rating be for it if I did something like this instead? http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...underquilt-mod
Most of my hanging will be in warm weather, but sometimes in the winter Texas does get cold (down to 20* at times)
I like to stay light weight, but backpacking I prioritize sleeping most of all. I can't afford to buy down the weight with down, light weight packs, etc. Too many other things take priority of my $. I probably have $150 into all my gear combined from pack to sleeping bag to tarp, hammock... Target wet weight of pack is 30-35#.
Thoughts? (or help finding an existing thread that answers this)
