3 sets of quilts?

[Chesapeake]

I'm an average temp sleeper with cold feet. Hammock gear has a great option where I got my 20degree incubator and burrow with an extra ounce of down in the foot/leg area. Works perfectly for me. I'd like to expand my quilt range though I think the econ series in the 40's would be just right for what I do. East TN, rarely into the 0 range short of mountain tops.

I had HG add 1 oz to the bottom of the footbox and the other 2 spread evenly throughout. They did an awesome job with my 0° Burrow, ive used it to -1° and was plenty warm, I proly could do -10 with it I'd think.

I went the 20 full set/40 three/4ths set so I could stack the 2 to make a 0. Note: I have had my 20 set to 8* and been just fine so I think combined I could go alot colder, not that that will ever happen here in the south.

I have 0, 20, 30, 50 degree TQs

Of course the best combo will be the ones that are suited to the temps you plan to encounter for you style of camping.

We don't get too many days below 0 here in Ohio, but it does happen. The lowest I went last year was 8* in my 0 degree quilts and they worked fantastically.

I am considering going to the frozen butt hang next year just to see what is all about. I figured I could give my gear a run for its money there lol.

The leader in the poll currently is 0,20,40. My current plan is to keep my 0 degree set as they work great. I am thinking I will pick up a 20 degree set with closed footbox to help with the cold feet issue. Possibly +1oz to the footbox, undecided yet.

I have a 40 degree 3/4 underquilt now which I am happy with, and a 40 degree topquilt that is way too big for me. I got the long/wide version thinking I would use it more for ground as well. I am full time hammocking now so the extra size is just getting in the way to be honest. It weighs 19.35 oz which is a ton for a 40. I may sell it on the forums here and pick up one of the 50* operator TQ. This would save me a ton of weight, and combined with the 40* UQ get me comfortably to probably the mid 40s. Plus on the hotter months, it would be much lighter/cooler.

I would appreciate any input on this.

One wildcard is the 30° Phincubator I bought. Looking back at all my trips notes, there were just SO many nights around that 32-38° mark that it made sense. The 30° rating and 62" length really cut down the bulk and a little weight. And a 40° would have been pushing it too close. The shorter length was right for those temps; I don't do it for my 0° because I don't want to play around there.

If I do get cold, getting cold at 0° is so much different than getting cold at 30°, where the high will eventually make into the 40s ,50s or even 60s. At a low of 0°, you don't have much hope of warming during the day.

I'd always err on the side of having more insulation than is needed. I'd rather be a bit warmer in the hammock than be cold and not have enough insulation to be comfortable.

I live part time, but soon to retire to, NW Ohio which is about the same temps as you have. I don't camp when temp are below about 10F if I can avoid it and I use my 20F set with a UQP. If need be I have added a wool blanket to actually sleep on inside my hammock. I also sleep in my wool top/bottom with down hat & wool fingerless gloves if the temps are below 20F. While a set of 0F would be nice, I can't see me spending the $ when I am not out in temps that low more than once a year.

I see you already have the 0F UQ - you can vent it/hang it loose enough to sleep in the 40F expected temp range or better yet bring the 40F UQ and a hot water bottle incase you need to boost it if the temp drops.

I currently have a set of 40* Econ quilts from HG and plan to add a set of 20* with an ounce or two of overstuff at some point.

This should pretty much cover everything for me.

I have 0 degree, 30, and 50 set ups, and a MN native.
