Can't touch it, Old Speckled Hen didn't work.
That is why you carry a "P" bottle wit you.....Never drink beer before hammocking. You'll just get comfy when your bladder says "Um... excuse me?"
Ditto!

Forgot to add.
I'm told I don't dress correctly for hammock sleeping so tonight I have on clean socks, thermal long-johns and thermal top.
I'll know by the morning but it is a lovely mild night here in Abergavenny.

I'm a pretty cold sleeper in a hammock and have had a few VERY cold nights in my hammock. The coldest was using a pacific outdoor aerogel self inflating mat, half inflated and a woodlore golden eagle sleeping bag. The temp got to -6 or thereabouts and I can honestly say I have never been as cold in my life.
I now have a ukhammocks underblanket overstuffed to 600g of down and still use the golden eagle. I have only used this setup once this year when the temp went below freezing (roughly -3) and I was extremely toasty.
Imo closed cell mats and self inflating mats are good to about +2 but I now wouldn't even think about not using an underblanket below these temperatures after a night in a good one![]()
