I'm leaving for a trip on Saturday, and it was going to be my first trip using a hammock. I've got a hennessy jungle expedition. I bought the insulating mat that goes between the layers, and an extended hex fly. Seems very comfortable.
However, the weather up here has been completely goofy. The first two nights of the trip are going down to 2 degrees C, or 35.6 degrees F. My understanding is that hammocks can be fairly cold to sleep in at those temps.
I have an older single wall tent that I'm eyeing up again, thinking of saving the hammock now for a trip later this summer. I don't have the time or inclination to get into all those under-quilt things, etc.
Any thoughts? Will my arse freeze off at 35.6 degrees?
