Hey, doing the Long Trail thru hike in my new hammock set-up, trying to do as light as possible--
have the
1)GT Skeeter Beeter pro, and
2)GT Funky Forest rain fly,
using a
3)50 degree mummy bag,
in conjunction with an
4)emergency blanket (reflective),
5)rain poncho (heavy, 16oz),
6)3/4 length ridge-rest.
Was given the advice to upgrade to a 20 degree bag, get an underquilt, or some kind of dead-air space reflective blanket.
This is my system, it seems to work and be warm enough. My argument is that I could just as easily bring 2 lbs of warm clothing (including the clothing I'll already be wearing), instead of adding the 2 lbs of a cold weather bag, and the clothes are versatile (can be bunched up and used as pillow, etc). Criticism welcomed!

This is the way I've been laying my hammock... was experimenting with cross-laying on the ridgerest for more comfort, like a slight "X" shape, not sure if it's working or not. The only spot I have to hang in my yard is kind of horrible and puts me at a weird hang.
