Some of the other guys use animal skins and swear by them no matter what the weather, I'm going to try this soon.

:lightbulb Of course - a sheepskin would be perfect :biggthump

I never thought of that. Great Idea :biggthump . Is there anyone skin better then another?

2 ways I've found for getting into your sleeping bag...

1) lay it fully out in the hammock unzipped. Get into the hammock and lay on the bag. Zip it up.
2) Open bag from bottom, Squirm head and shoulders in. Get into hammock (looking like something from a 1970's Dr Who episode). Do up bottom of bag.

If you are one of those that uses a pad INSIDE your bag, the latter may be a tad awkward...

You'll love it Jake!!! Enjoy

OK Sheepskins. Several times I've heard mention of sheepskins in relation to hammocks but wasn't paying attention (coz I didn't have a hammock then! ) What's with the sheepskins, then?

 

[jakunen]

you bungs it under yer bag an it keeps yer nice and toasty!

Not too practical for minimalist trips though. Last one i picked up weighed a ton!

 

[Kath]

Thanks Martin So it's a full-size regular sheepskin? OK not an ultralightweight skin of some genetically engineered beastie. Sounds toasty but perhaps a little large to carry ...

Think I'll weight for the insulation pack!

Is that the new hennessy addon? ..... I saw them on the site, very good idea, but it doubles the price of the hammock :yikes:

Yup. I'm hoping it doesn't add too much bulk (if it fits into the same volume as my thermarest I'll be a happy bunny!)

How about a space blanket?

 

[Kath]

Good idea! Very warm - but I've used them before and they get really sticky!
