Don't let a cold back or buttocks keep you from sleeping overnight in you hammock. Throw that pad in and get on out there to the Backwood Hood.
More than likely you already got pad laying around or iff'n you don't then there are some really affordable Closed Cell Foam pads out there.

Thanks Shug! Your videos have helped me a lot this year. Made the switch from the ground this spring and haven't looked back. Took my first cold weather trip a few weeks ago and used a borrowed 50 degree ENO Underquilt with a 3/4 closed cell foam pad and an inflatable Klymit Static V with no insulation. It got down to 28 degrees and I didn't have any problems with my 32 degree down sleeping bag as a topquilt. Warm and toasty! Never would have made it if it wasn't for you sharing your experience here. Really can't thank you enough!

I've now spent a couple of nights out in my set up and it totally rocks. I am now looking at Outdoor Vitals sleeping bag/underquilt/hammock bag and I think that I may get one of those.
@shugemery
@shugemery 7 років тому
I slept out in it last week as a test. Did not film, just getting to know it. Got down to 23ºF. They sent me the 20º Aerie. Set it up as a UQ and a pod to see how it hung. As a pod it is pretty good...you can get on an angle in the hammock. I'm 6' and was ok. As in most pods there is a gap up by the head over left shoulder for me. But slip a TQ inside and you could for sure get down to some colder temps. As a UQ you have to set it up just right. I stretched my suspension tightly and hooked it up by cinch buckles on hammock suspension to get it to stretch out and get it to come up right against my buttocks and back. Slept in a partial pod arrangement. Set up like pod but unzipped to knees. Seemed to work best. Kept the bottom up against me that way. I crawled in around 10PM and slept warm until about 4:30 AM. Started to get a bit cold on the buttocks then. As it functions in a bag, pod and UQ and blanket so the 18 ounces of down gets distributed on top, sides and bottom. Less on the bottom as a normal 20º UQ. The beauty of the Aerie is that a person can use it an a bag, pod, UQ or top blanket. Zippers are a bit sticky...you have to be vigilant in holding back the inner zip tape and top flap. I hate zippers! Seems to be baffled and not sewn through. All in all a fairly good piece of gear for all that it does. If looking for JUST a UQ then I don't think this is it. But if needed a piece of gear that is Multi Function then for the price it is pretty good. Made in China.
@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941
@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941 7 років тому
The multi-functionality of it is what caused me to look into it. The thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger is that I am (a "BigFoot") 6'5" and 350 lbs. and I worry about the size. It is supposed to be only 6' long. The owner says that they are planning on making a larger model, but it will be a while. Thanks for your reply!

Great info! I don't have a double layer hammock either but my hammocks have mosquito netting that I don't need in the winter so I'm thinking I could slide the pad between the netting and the hammock when I turn it over for colder weather camping. Thanks for sharing the video!

Nice socks! I guess I fall into the superhuman category with under insulation. I have been able to sleep very well down to 55F with clothing and a synthetic bag. Gooood sleep...zzzz. Works for me, not for all. The take away here for new folks is to use what you already have first and adjust to the conditions. After a while you'll know how to dial your hammock to what works. Good stuff Shug!

So far I'm a big fan of the insulated blow up pad's versatility. If on your expedition you wake up on somebody's floor covered with cans & pizza boxes, your trusty pad is underneath you so well you dreampt you were in a great palace. I also like how the pad pushes the fabric of the hammock a bit from pinching right against your arms. Want to stay on the beach or underneath a neat spruce roof--no problem--pitch out your buddy the pad & get a different position from all the nights in the hammock. I've paddled clear across lakes on my trusty Klymit. I just consider the dang pad so versatile I can't get rid of it. The Achilles Heel on mine (R4.4) is anything below 20F is downright cold. So even though I could get an underquilt, my solution has recently been to spend my few dollars on the supposedly awesome Exped Downmat (R8). I think its mummy shape will keep the pad mostly inflated under my back, as opposed to how the air can rush to the head & foot end of a square pad. We'll see how it goes. For real, real cold I still carry a couple small wings of solid foam about the size to stuff in my pack for my arms. Great video: I'm thinking of making a wing thing for my pad, something that helps absorb sweat & add a touch of warmth & comfort to my nylon home in the bushes.

i set up my hammock in the Rocky Mountains with a tarp over top like a legit jungle shelter during a few stormy days we were having... well i stayed dry as a bone but it got down to 40 degrees and I cant say Ive ever been colder at night even sleeping in my 20 degree bag!
@shugemery
@shugemery 4 роки тому
At a certain point laying in that bag in a hammock with the compressed down under you will fail. Thus the pad or underquilt to the rescue.

If you tie a us army poncho liner on an angle from hammock end to end it makes a nice cheap underquilt thats very light. Ive never been hammocking out in snow cold before but its been very cold in nights and mornings and it is enough to sleep comfortably in a 30 degree bag and no bug net. The material really cuts the breeze from underneath.
@shugemery
@shugemery 2 роки тому
Cutting that breeze is good and fine.

Shug I Gorilla taped some paracord to a reflective pad/ truck windshield sun reflector. I tie it to the head end of the hammock. It not only doesn’t slip down but is easier to reposition from side to side. Love your vids. Reflectix good down to 30F for me.

I bought a GI bivy sack and put my Klymit Static V blow up pad and sleeping bag in it. The bivy sack keeps everything together, keeps things dry, adds a bit of warmth, but still breaths. Camping at 11,800' in elevation in a hammock between two trees in a lightening storm is a formula for a lightning conductivity test, not anywhere I wanted to be. Grabbing the bivy with everything in it. I ran out to an open field away from trees. tossed the bivy down, a few extra puffs of air into the pad and I had quickly moved my sleeping arrangements to someplace safer. Needless to say, I'm all about the bivy sack now. My wife and two daughters each got a bivy sack from Santa last Christmas.
