Hello everyone I'm a newbie here so I do apologize if this question has been answered before. I tried several searches and couldn't figure out how to word it in a search.
I already own a great sleeping bag but I want to be able to sleep with it in a hammock. I know the hammock will compress the insulation and make it useless if I just lay in the hammock with it, but what if I cut a hole at the top of the bag and one at the bottom and reinforced them with some webbing to keep it from ripping, then threaded the hammock through the holes?
It sounds in theory like the hammock would be supporting my weight, with the insulation hanging under the hammock fluffed to full size, and I'd still be able to zip the bag on top of me. I'll add a little velcro to the holes to keep them closed up when I'm using the bag on the ground and I should be fine.
Of course I understand this wouldn't work with a hammock that has a spreader bar holding it open since the holes would have to basically be the entire width of the sleeping bag, but for the cheap hammock I have that has no bars it should work fine.
