> hammocks as so fucking gay

Sleeping pads are so based in hammocks. Mummy designs work significantly better than rectangle but I've been amazed at how many people were surprised that someone would use a sleeping pad in a hammock.

I wanted to pick up an under quilt and top quilt to use with my 0 degree bag and sleeping pad and do some winter camping in sub zero temps this winter but I didn't make it happen. Next year when the ice caves are open in Superior at the Apostle Islands, there will be nothing holding me back.

I have the snugpak underblanket and top quilt but I haven't had the chance to use them yet. How do you like them? How cold have you camped with them?

here's my sleeping rig. i got two fitted tarps, depending on the weather i use them in different combinations.
hot - no tarp
breezy - tarp on bottom
light rain or chance thereof - tarp on top
heavy rain or rain/wind - tarp on top and bottom

it's lovely being cocooned in there when it's freezing out but i prefer to leave the top tarp off so i can look up at the stars :3

what's a wm hammock?

>>700340

Ok, I'm honestly not trolling here, just someone who's never used a hammock when /out.

Is it really ok to sleep in? I feel like it would be okay for a night or two, but the idea of having my back bent like that all night would make it pretty stiff after a while.

My guess is Wal Mart

I use an Eno double nest. Its big enough for me to lay diagonally. Do this and you are almost flat.
