I have an ongoing problem, at least a problem in cold weather: I SWEAT! A LOT! To the point I get condensation EVERYWHERE, to the point of it poolling in the water proof weather shield under my insulation. At least 2 tablespoons after one night Friday night. (Leaving the question: how much was IN the under quilt?). Friday it got to 10, I still woke up wet! I tried to stay as cool as possible, to no avail! I did stay cool, never let myself get truly warm, , , , ,
To give perspective, back when I was a groundling tarp camper, I heard that "You never get condensation on a tarp cause it's too well ventilated!" I ALWAYS had condensation, with 1' gap tween the ground & the bottom of the tarp, NO DOOR(s)! Dry weather & as best I could tell, dry ground. Temps in the 70s or 80s.
So, what can I do to at least reduce getting everything wet? Back in my long distance bicycling days I had friends who sprayed antiperspirant on their feet to keep them dry in cool to cold weather. I always thought this was at least somewhat unhealthy & in my case spraying me all over would suck a lot.
I have considered a vapor barrier tween the hammock & my underquilt(s) & MAYBE the top quilt, but I have never liked the feel of sleeping on/in plastic. And even then, I would be in a pool of water, whereas now it's 2" to 3" below me, even though only separated by my damp quilt.
HELP!
