cut that Ridgeline ?

[Shug]

My dear shug, you bring me to what I was talking about the size of the blue foam I brought.. way too big to negociate many kilometer in deep woods.. Does an Under Quilt REPLACE the blue foam.. ? in terms of isolation it give.. I guess an UQ would fit better in my bag as opposed to a blue foam rolled and tied outside my backpack.

Yes .... if you use a 1/2 UQ need a small pad for insulation under your feet .... that is it. Lately I slip a small Thermarest sit-pad in my TQ under my feet and get no condensation......
Fits in the pack like a dream.

haha, nein, my girlfriend is born in Berlin but im a pure 100% Canadian from quebec city..

resultat = should have said "the result" but I was distracted by the taught of myself blackbirding at -11 in speedo

That thought is disturbing indeed, especially considering what you use for insulation!

Another option to deal with the ridgeline, is to measure it very carefully, and add a carabiner (good climbing rated one) to the ridgeline. Leave the ridgeline attached when you are setting up camp, and sleeping in the hammock, but unhook it when sitting or goofing around.


We have lots of Canucks on this board, but I don't think I said 'allo to you yet. Welcome.

If its that cold up in canada, consider vapor barriers and a good hot meal before you goto bed. VB's can keep you warm for minimal weight when supplemented with quilts/bags, but keep an eye out for your body temp, you dont want condensation buildup. It has to be really cold to use vb's, i'd say your trip qualified.

actually, winter is pretty much gone now, even if there is still trace of snow, its way colder at night usually but i was in a rush to go out hammocking, just recived a blackbird in the mail, i just had to go NOW but Miss Summer take her sweet time getting ready. So until my tarp gets here (didnt choose yet.. Superfly? with or without doors.. dunno) I don't think its gonna go under zero celcius at night. I had eaten a Mountain House MRE just before bed, could be why i was 100% warm until 3-4am in the mo'ning. Never heard of VB system.. i thought (but didnt do) the boiled water in nalgene tactic
