    Pad for Hammock

    Does anyone have a light cheap pad that would work in my WBBB double hammock? Are the CCF pads the best?

    Thanks!

    Yes, you want ccf.

    Lots of folks go with the Walmart blue but If I were doing a pad, my first choice would be the 1/4" Gossamer Gear, it's 40" wide which is sized well for hammock use. Not terribly cheap, especially considering shipping but if you consider your time trying to join smaller sections it may be worth your while.

    My very first hammock pad experience was with a 24x72 thermarest, I gotta say that it was pretty darn good for a pad and stayed put, if you could pick one of these monsters up used at a good price it would work well for car camping but they're not very packable.

    If cheap and easy is your thing then reflectix insulation will work. Make sure you get the 26" width.
    Although I do think CCF lasts longer and does a little better job of retaining heat.
