This is another great one that I somehow missed the first time and just dug out of your archive.

I use a Claytor jungle hammock, which has two layers of fabric underneath that you can spread open and stuff, on-site, with leaves, pine boughs, cattail fluff, etc., to trap air and create insulation. This works and also lightens the load into the woods.

An expedient way to create the same effect might be to fasten a couple of split-open trash bags (or a contractor’s bag) to the underside of a one-layer hammock which could be stuffed with debris found on-site.

This concept also might avoid the problem of your weight compressing (and thus minimizing the effect of) whatever insulation you lay-on inside the hammock.

Best,
Bruce

You cann’t believe just how a lot time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
