    Hammock Sleeping Bag Mod

    Daft. It's not an underblanket. It's a sleeping bag for inside the hammock. The point is that the sleeping bag only has insulation on the top half of the bag. Thereby keeping me warm but cutting down on weight. I also have a diy underblanket I made which does the job of keeping my back warm.

    Hammock Sleeping Bag Mod

    November Clear Out

    Very kind of you to offer but I will say no. I just like to see items go to homes where they might actually be used. Maybe put a bit extra in a charity collection next time you see one.
