Hello. I will be starting my thru during the first or second week of april, and I'm considering carrying a hammock. My sleep-on-the-ground shakedown hikes have left me sore sore sore. :mad:

I'll probably pick up a hennessey, but I need the more experienced hammock crowd to allay my fears...

Without an underquilt, am I gonna freeze my bum off in North GA??

I've got a 20deg mummy bag, though the ETR should be about 35. This bag may be ditched in favor of a homemade quilt... I've also got a couple blue foam pads laying about.

Thanks

Loose the pad and get an under quilt...you'll never be tempted to sleep on the "sore" ground again....Less weight..less bulk....more comfort.
