Trying to gather enough for a trip

[plaunius]

I've got a lot of gear for myself and all of it is summer gear. I'm planning a trip to Oregon and sacrificing some of my gear for others who need it and don't have any. I'm am trying to figure out if I'm going to freeze my using a fleece TQ while my friends are toasty warm. I have all the hammocks covered as far as bottom insulation goes.

The low temps are looking like 55-59 in two weeks, when I'm going. I'm using my Clark which has the ability to close up the weather shield and keep some heat inside. I'm a hot sleeper thank goodness. Anyone used fleece that can help me. I've got everyone else covered and they will be fine.

What sucks is that I just got my 2 new HammockGear UQs and my custom TQ and don't even get to use it myself. I need to payback my host that is letting me sleep in his warm house the rest of my trip.

If there are any other ideas for ready made TQs that aren't anchors in my pack, I'm open minded.

Thanks!

You are more than welcome to borrow my TQ. Nunatak Arc Edge, 20 deg, 19 oz. Might be overkill, but it's light and guaranteed to keep you warm! Just let me know if you need it!!

Joel! I lost track with you. Dude, that would totally be the best thing in the world if you are ok with it. You don't know how much that would help. I'd probably let me wife use it because she's a colder sleeper than I am. I could then use my new custom HammockGear Summer Burrow that hit my mail box last week. She's about as big as a gnat so she'd be light and easy with it.

That is really nice of you. You know where I work, I can come to meet you if you need me to. You're the best!

Depending on where you are going in Oregon and the elevation the fleece may be fine, I have been sleeping in my hammock with a fleece top this last week in Bend.

All the nights Ive slept in my hammock so far, Ive used a double bed sized fleece throw, wrapped around my body for top and bottem insulation. That has kept me warm at night here in NC.

Yeah most fleece blankets ive seen will keep ya good to about 45-50.
And its been really nice out here lately.
You should be fine.

Ive been using a cheep Walmart 45 degree sleeping bag modded into a top quilt and its been almost too warm.
