Well this past weekend, I went "camping" with my son's Boy Scout troop. I put camping in quotes because although the boys stayed in tents the adults were in lean toos with electricity, bunks and even a fireplace. I of course had to stay in my hammock. I still haven't invested in an underquilt, and used my inflatable pad I got from D!ck's sporting goods. Don't remember the name, think it was one of those manufacturers that produced specifically for D!cks. Anyway, I've been happy with it so far, the Temps got down into the mid to high 30's overnight, and I'd have to say I stayed quite comfortable. I think I could have handled another 10 degrees cooler.
Next test will be the November campout. Think I'm going to try and push it to see what the limits are of my pad before I make the next investment of an underquilt.
