Just got a HH for X-mas.
I'm pretty excited about shedding the tent, a couple of pounds (off my pack and me) and getting off the ground.
I've poured over 20+ pages of posts and have done several searches but can't quite find an answer so I'll cut to the chase.
How do I manage 40-50 degree summer nights? Do I need to? I use a 20 degree bag and I understand the compression issues and losing heat to the air under the hammock. I normally carry a 3/4 length Thermarest but I was hoping to leave it behind also.
Is there something lightweight I can carry to add the necessary layer to sleep comfortably if the need arises? Or do I just pull on an extra layer of clothes or sleep on top of my gear?
Would something like a Neat Sheet (w/o the weights) fashioned into an underquilt of sorts give enough of an extra layer without too much weight?
Do I just trade down to a blue pad and call it good? Maybe put some wings on it?
Please advise oh Gurus of the Hammock
