    You'll need something to insulate your backside better than a space blanket. Get a closed cell foam pad from walmart or get an underquilt if you have the extra cash.

    I was out in the low 40's last week and my 10 degree bag kept me too warm. I would agree that you will want something at your back or in the bottom of you hammock. I am not a big fan of the Wally World pad only because it take some of the comfort away but if you have to trade that for keeping warm I guess its a sacrifice to be made. Good luck, have fun and stay warm!

    I sleep very well on a CCF pad. But I don't tend to move much in a hammock for some reason. Maybe it's because I'm not used to being that comfy, so even on a CCF pad I feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud...

    My girlfriend gets cold on CCF pads.
