Okay, my next question...
How much do I need to worry about the cold? I've read a ton about the under-quilts, pads inside, etc and don't know what to expect.
My current set up is a Cat's Meow 20-degree bag and a Z-Rest mattress cut to eight sections -- enough for my shoulders to butt. I've slept under a tarp for years. That does me comfortable down to pretty cold. I'm great at just below freezing with nothing on and down into the mid-teens with my thermals.
What I want to hear is that I can just throw my current set-up into the hammock and be fine down to around 40-degree nights. Am I being realistic?
I don't mind throwing an extra pad or something into the hammock, or switching to a wider one (although I'd prefer not to -- mine is perfect inside my pack now). However, if I have to start adding under-quilts etc, I have to begin to question the whole hanging thing.
I don't mind doing extreme stuff in the winter. I'm talking about three-season camping here.
Thanks.
