Here's my story:
I'm sporting the WBRR DL and I'm caught in a divide between a sleeping pad and UQ.
I've used a pad before and didn't have any problems. Used the Exped Synmat 7, but didn't like the pump feature, so I returned it. That thing took forever to pump up. http://www.rei.com/product/780367/ex...-pad-with-pump
I usually camp during the colder months, so I definitely need some warmth. Last year I slept in 10 degree freezing rain weather in the hammock with that pad.
The only con I've seen to an UQ is that I can't use it like I can a pad in a tent. I usually use a tent with friends. So that means that I would have to pay for a pad and an UQ...that's a lot of cash. I just see the pad as double the use.
I watched Shugs video on how you could use a pad and utilize your sleeping bag as a top quilt. I'm just wondering how effective that is without the sleeping bag underneath you.
Any insight on what I should do?
