    You'll definitely need two pads, two wide pads, in a hammock for winter conditions. Most folks who plan to regularly hang during winter will invest in a good underquilt. I know I would. It's still good to carry at least one pad though, just in case you have to go to ground or shelter on occasion. If you decide to hang, check out Hammock Forums.

    i live near SNP, go for a 0 degree bag and i assure you you will be happy you did. Logged near a 1000 winter miles and never once was too warm and appreciated it when there were cold rains in november in SNP and southern VA and early december. its your call ultimately but having a 20 degree bag at its temperature limit isn't that fun

    enjoy your hike

    Don't be caught wishing you had brought a warmer bag but instead your freezing your arse off.
    If you're hammocking then go with a quality underquilt and bottom insulating pad.
    Getting lost is a way to find yourself.
