I just got back from my trip, (a few days early cuz we kicked butt!)
It got down to around 38 and was cold, as we were near the river. I used my quilt under the hammock and it surely made a difference. I still needed a pad, I used a windshield reflective pad. The cold spots were decreased a great deal and I was way warmer then my hiking partner. I only had a 45 degree bag and she carried a 0 degree bag.
I believe that by the quilt being on the outside it did not get
compressed as her heavier sleeping bag did. It rained 3 of the
nights we were out and I had no problem with the down outside under the hammock.
I figure the same quilt could be made leaving the tubes empty and filled with leaves and pine for even less weight. Just sharing my latest experience.
