Hi everyone. First post, just found the site during one of my many countless hours spent browsing bushcraft stores while the debit card stares at me alluringly. Great forum and site in general and from what I've read so far, there are no trolls (always a bonus).
Just a quick question. I'm in the process of building a 'go bag' and I'm at the bed roll stage. I'm not a huge fan of sleeping bags as they're pretty bulky, I'm looking at a 95"x95" 100% wool blanket (Pathfinder Store) with a fleece sleeping bag liner to go in my DD sealable hammock but I'm not sure what temperature I could sleep out in reasonably comfortably (temp wise) for a 3 day gear test jaunt in the Dartmoor - North Devon area. Any ideas? Or is a decent sleeping bag the only realistic option for the area? I know how cold it can get on Dartmoor in winter from personal experience but I've no experience of how good wool and fleece may work together in that environment. At best conditions; clothing - fleece liner - wool blanket - sealed hammock - tarp. Would I survive 3 days in spring/summer?
TIA
Paul.
