What are you packing to stay warm in your hammock for Katahdin through the Presidentials? My HH is in the mail and I'm contemplating insulation.

Are you going to carry a CCF pad, too?
My Sleep setup for 2006 SOBO: Katahdin through the Presidentials
HH UL Asym
OES MacCat deluxe generation 3
JRB Nest and NSQ
WM Caribou mf 32*
Patagonia mid weight top & bottom underlayer
smartwool merino socks and liners
Golite long sleeve shirt
Mountain Hardwear jacket
EMS convertible pants/shorts
When I start hiking I will pack probably all of this and once I get out of the 100 mile wilderness, into Monson, I plan to make any adjustments I need too. Atleast thats the plan so far.:D

I assume you're using the two JRBs as underquilts with the Caribou inside the hammock. Have you tested a low temp with that setup?
well I was going to tonight but its about zero right now with a wind chill of -10*
so no i havent been able to test it b/c its just tooo friggin' cold:D

??? That's perfect testing weather! :D
I had one night in a hammock that cold...I was so hot I had to vent. PeaPod, Exped Downmat 7, JRB NS top quilt, MacCat Standard hung low. Your setup might be worth testing in those temps! At least you'll know your limit. (Have a backup and all that.)
