    I did something similar last fall. I have a rectangular summer bag that I threaded my hammock through. Super warm. I had another super light summer bag inside. No problem to 35 degrees.

    I have a 4 lb down bag that I don't carry unless winter camping. I'd investigate quilts and other light to ultralight alternatives just to save on weight.
