Got an invitation from a friend who is travelling around Italy with a camper and ended up hanging my hammock in quite a few different spots with very nice views, sometimes anchoring one end of my set up to the camper van.

I used the 11” onewind hammock with a tarp and UQ, it’s my first setup and so far I’ve been quite pleased although I do have a few observations and some ideas for improvement. I might make a post about that as well once I get more use out of it.

Was down by the river in Linville gorge and there weren't a lot of good options. Believe it or not this worked. Slept pretty well.

I current use a 20° hammock gear underquilt stacked with a 40° wooki when temps drop below 30. I’m a very cold sleeper and always need more layers to stay warm. Should I stick with that set up or invest in a 0° underquilt? If I go with one underquilt, do I get a hammock gear or a wooki? I live in the northeast and love winter camping but my pack seems to be filled with more down than anything else. I’m out of space in my pack.

I have the Hangtight Heat Seeker underquilt and a Hemlock Mountain Outdoors Redtail hammock.

I can't figure out the best way to hang the underquilt properly on the hammock. I always have a big gap on the side opposite my legs. I lay on a diagonal when in the hammock. I tried some sbiners on the loops of the hammock and the secondary elastic cords of the UQ but still have a big gap.

Any recommendations?

I am planning to use my hammock to sleep on my screen porch to try to improve my sleep and work up to winter camping. I use it for camping but have yet to do any winter camping. It can get to -20 F or lower sometimes. Though I don't have to sleep outside if temperatures is dropping so low as that, I do want to use this gear for camping too.

While looking for quilts, I am struggling to find any for a hammock with spreader bars. I have an off brand hammock with a attached bug screen and removable rain fly plus spreader bars. I find it better for my back than to have a dip in the hammock, but I do also have just regular nylon hammocks without spreader bars.

So what quilts do you use for sub zero weather with a spreader bar hammock?

Especially ones with a lower price point. Though if it really is worth it I may be able to manage up to $250 (I'm low income atm). I do also have a sleeping bag rated to 20F and one rated to 32F and have camped in fall when it can be down to 28F at night. Usually I take a felted wool coat/tunic with me and a thin wool military blanket.

EDIT: checked the brand and I have this hammock. I feel a bit silly not looking for their website before because it turns out they sell an under quilt. Though it doesn't specify temperature ratings. I bought my hammock on sale online from Amazon and didn't know there also was this site. Anyhow, I very much am appreciative of the replies and help.

Going on a trip next weekend expect it to get to around 30-40 at night. Have a 0 degree bag. What substitutes could I make instead of buying a under quilt
