    Packing up

    I am close to getting my whole setup all together. It consists of a Claytor Jungle Hammock, a JRB Old Rag Quilt, a KAQ underquilt and a Claytor extra large tarp. My idea is to stuff the hammock, and quilts into a stuff sack - basically all connected and put the tarp in a small waterproof stuff sack and then shove it in the hammock stuff sack. And put the whole thing on my motorbike.

    Am I missing anything here?

    As long as your sacks are waterproof and securely attached to the bike, I think you're in business.

    What temps have you tried with that setup?

    Why are you putting the tarp in a waterproof stuff sack? Isn't it waterproof?
    I'm guessing that you are doing it to keep from getting your other gear wet, but if your pack has outer pockets put it there and have more room inside your pack. Just thinking out loud. Sounds like you're going to be plenty warm with that set-up.
