I am an asstant scout master for a troop in north Texas. I decided I wanted to try a hammock, so I got me a Wal-Mart hammock and went camping. During the summer, I slept great, so I knew I could hang. In January, we went camping and the weather was nice. It was supposed to get chilly, but no rain, so I took my hammock. This was my set up for that weekend. Wal-Mart hammock, self inflating pad 40 degree sleeping bag with a liner, and an afgan under the sleeping bag for a bit of insulation. WELL, the temp dropped to 25, and did you notice I didn't include a tarp as part of my set up? The dew froze on my sleeping bag and it was crunchy in the morning, but I slept warm and comfy. So now looking into a better set up because I am addicted. I know those of you up north will scoff at 25 degrees, but if you tell someone in Texas you did that, they think you are crazy.
