    Ok its HOT!!! But its not stopping me....

    I have been hanging between the trees for about a yr and half now. I am addicted to it. I have campen in december to june. I am completly aware of how to comfortably camp in the cold months which is really friggin cool BUT I am curious what evetyone uses in the hot months.

    The only other time I have gone out in the hot months I took my hammy and a top sheet and a cheap mat for undersilation. I am curretly wandering about a "sleeping badimer for hot months? Is there any that yall would sudjest that yall have used?

    I am going on on a "minimal" trip with a good freind of mine and will not need under insulation. It will be bout 80-85 degreesa at night so I looking for something that will keep me cool throughout the night. Any and all info is greatly appreciated. Thanx brethren

    In those temps you could take a 9oz Thermolite Reactor Compact liner and nothing else. I used one with baselayers on and nothing under me and was good to about 65*. At 80-85* you should be fine with that and no base layer. A lighter liner may work but I know this one will, for me at least.
