    Hot and Humid summer solutions

    Does anyone here know about or use one of these?

    I thought it might be a good solution for these hot hanging times, with use of a UQ.

    Thoughts?

    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.

    I have the Grand Trunk Silk Sleep Sack and just used mine a couple of weeks ago in backyard test hang.

    I had a silk sleeping bag liner that I gave to my husband. I fought with it all night in my hammock. I then bought silk yardage material and sewed a rectangle sized piece to use as a top sheet. LOVE IT !!
    This summer it's really come in handy. I like to have something over me but it's been way to hot/humid for my top quilt, or even my bottom quilt. The silk has been perfect. Even when it's gotten wet, it dries super fast.
