A quality down top quilt or sleeping bag. It's light and warm. A reflective sleeping pad. Going to bed on a full stomach.

Presumably you are using a hammock for comfort so don't compromise that by using inadequate insulation.

Have you looked at Hammock Gear Econ line?
Rough rule of thumb is you need 3" loft to be comfortable at 0 degrees. I used a 20 degree TQ and only had two nights down in the teens and one in single...
Depending on the site and weather I either laid my pack under the foot of my hammock on the pack cover or hanging from the tree strap.

Circuit is sold.
Catalyst is sold.
Walking worked well for me. It's a tiny, remote town. Your options are extremely limited.
You can use CCF pads or air mattresses in a hammock. My personal opinion is a down underquilt provides the very best comfort. Isn't that why you want to use a hammock?

It's not a cabin, more a tiny derelict structure that you wouldn't want to stay in.
Quilt is sold.
This and that.
One night at dusk I got a hitch into town with an older lady who as I soon discovered could not see crap. She hit the dirt shoulder twice and once I thought we were going to roll....
I purchased the waterproof map and LTG. I used the LTG for planning which towns I wanted to visit and which sites of interest along the trail to visit (including some side trails). I only took the...
That should boost his personal trainer business.
The problem with discussion like this is that it is entirely subjective. We all have our favorites. As Deadeye pointed out not only does the LT predate the AT, the AT and probably most of of...
I really cannot tell if you are trolling or serious.
It's a fair question. A better is "How would ________ affect others around me?" The trail is a shared space with where most people go to escape civilization and connect with the outdoors. A drone...
I used a contractor bag with success. Heavy duty plastic must be at least 6 mil, maybe 8. Came through with no holes, used it as a pack liner and then wrapped my pack in it on the way home.
Lightly used, clean ULA Circuit S-straps, small torso w/ medium hip belt. Stored in non-smoking house. Includes zipper pouch, water bladder sleeve & arm strap thingies. $190 OBO shipped to your door...
I hiked with her for a bit in the HMW this summer. She's incredibly tough, great sense of humor and humility. I look forward to reading her book and hope that it inspires others.

I hate to break it to you but the 100 mile wilderness is a bit of an illusion. The logging road you are probably thinking of is Jo-Mary road which is very active with all sorts of people. In fact two...
I went North in July 2014 and never felt that the rain, mud and bugs were a problem. It did get hot and humid. There are many opportunities to swim right on the trail in the south, and a some side...
I can't help but wonder if the reason you hear the northern end of the trail is more scenic & remote due to the time of year, fewer number of hikers and where those hikers are mentally in their hike...
Another vote for Spectra - Z-Packs Z-Line.
