i have been doing a lot of experimenting on hammock camping in the winter time
i am a hiker on a tight budget,i needed something economical,practical,something also that would work on the ground also
first of all i start out with a hennessey hammock the cocoon version 59.99
without the tarp,60.00 for a jacks r better 8x8 silnylon tarp,35.00 dollars for a
custom silnylon under cover,4.00 for a 38 in x 54 in egg crate open cell pad
i bought the pad at dollar store 8.00,you can get 2 pad out of this,i will post pics this weekend.i compress the pad in a eagle creek compressor bag,this is a great set up if you cant afford the alternatives,:sun neo

What method did you eventually work out to attach the open-cell insulation to the bottom of the hammock? Did you just hold it up with the undercover?

I use open cell foam and the undercover of the HH Supershelter system for a similiar insulating system. What is the compressed dimensions of your open cell foam pad?

The compressed dimensions that I am enquiring about are those of the packed open cell foam pad in it's compression bag.
