At -5 C, did you use only the under pad or under pad+torso and kidney pad? And for the coat and extra insulation, where would you recommend me to put it?
About the tie-outs: I found that the side of the underpad next to the underpad tie-out would not come into contact with the hammock fabric, especially under my left shoulder. The underpad came up in a much nicer fashion under my body once I released its tie-out fastening. However, I still kept the hammock tie-out anchored. There have been other reports of this... could depend on the shape of the body resting in the hammock. I am not that wide over the shoulders, which can also explain why the 60 cm wide pad is sufficient for my purposes.
Moski: will check on that. And I live in Bagarmossen since some 8 years. Sodertorn is a nice area for short outings, on foot and on bike.
