Whilst sunning myself in my dd hammock (group buy thanks sandbag) yesterday i could feel the breeze on my back which was cooling me off uncomfortably thats when i had an idea which i havnt seen on the forum so forgive me if it has already been suggested.
I put a sleeping bag (old square type) in between the mosquito net and the hammock and because the net has extra material it has more give so when you are led in the hammock the fibre is'nt depressed as if it were fitted between the two other layers leaving air for insulation, i slept in it most of last night with only the sleeping bag underneath and a thick blanket over the top and i was warm and didnt wake once because of a cold back.
(hammock used net down )
I intend to cut the bag shorter by a little and cut the corners as it narrows to the end of the hammock.
my initial intention was to sleep out untill i became too cold but i was warm enough especially from beneath, if i had used my sleepingbag with my feet tucked in the bottom pocket i would of stayed all night but my feet kept getting cold as the blanket was too short.
Has anybody else tried this method??
