Z Lite Sol in shelters

[SilentBob]

Put the Z lite inside the hammock. If you have a zero degree under and top quilt you should be fine. As any hammock camper knows location is key..

When I've had to use my z-lite to go to the shelter floor, I've usually used a piece of tyvek under the pad to keep mouse turds and all of the other disgusting shelter droppings off of my gear - but not always. I haven't noticed it doing anything to improve warmth. The z-lite blocks the wind without the tyvek, and the tyvek itself adds no insulation value. If it does make any difference, in my opinion it's unnoticeable.

Not sure I thought it would improve warmth directly or add insulation value. I did hope that blocking wind and the loss of heat through air moving under the wood floor would indirectly improve warmth with Tyvek sheet in addition to Z-lite. I appreciate your opinion.

Keeping mouse turds at bay; may actually be a bigger selling piece! Lol

For the Tyvek to do any good by blocking the wind and slowing air movement you would have to cover the entire floor. A staple gun would help too.

GREAT something else to add to my pack! What is the lightest staple gun out there?

Until Dutch comes out with a Titanium version; I would stick with the aluminum style over the stainless steel. I would also suggest Wally World models. You can alway's carry two or three over to the Produce Scales to find the lightest model... Hold on... Wait... Were you joking?
