I'm looking to go on a week+ long trip in the boundary waters this September and I'm reviewing my gear, my hammock, and one forum post leads to another and one cottage company product leads to another... I'm realizing I don't know anything about the last 7 years of products
Right now I have a stock Hennessy Explorer Ultralight, some old down sleeping bags that could become underquilts, and a 8x10 tarp which could also be used on the diagonal... but sometimes chasing after a cheap solution is the most expensive way to go.
Plus, I've always felt like my HH was too short for me. Too much calf cramp and feeling like I'm sleeping sitting up.
So I'm curious what folks would advise for a 6' tall, 190 lb mid-forties, cold-sleeping camper that will be heading to the boundary waters in September where the temps will be 40 night 70 day on average, but probably both colder and warmer knowing my luck
I'm looking for advice on a hammock with unzip-able bug netting, a tarp for the worst conditions, and an underquilt for the coldest conditions. With my sleeping bags, I think I'm okay for top quilts.
Either these questions are annoying... or hopefully a fun thought experiment??? You be the judge.
Thanks in advance for your experiences and suggestions!!
