yep...same here.

25°-30° TQ, fleece quilt liner, down hoody, Greylock 3 or 4 partial UQ and I am good to go.

Great poll! I can't seem to choose one, though. I know around 45-50° is the absolute "easiest". No frost, no chills, never too warm, not cold to get out for a midnight bathroom break, nothing freezes, minimal clothing/accessories, basically just a zero effort trip.

I guess my favorite would have to be 10-30°. Even better if it's in the fall (upper end of 10-30). I love that nice, clean crisp air and a little challenge of staying warm. Coffee tastes better the colder it gets. No nuisance bugs. I seem to sleep better when I want/need to stay warm opposed to getting a little overheated by the quilts.

I like 10* to 30*... no mosquitoes

20-40 and as others have mentioned I guess I slightly prefer just above freezing for water filters sake, not personal comfort.

Regarding filters freezing, one nice thing about the BeFree (even though I hate it) is that you can fill the bottle completely and keep the filter on. The entire thing would have to freeze solid for the fibers to also freeze. So if you're lows are around freezing or even about 25°, I wouldn't be worried. You just need to consider the top part that isn't submerged. Add that you can wrap an extra shirt or jacket around the whole thing in your pack...no worries. But if you are, a simple ziploc bag holding the filter can be put anywhere (with you in the hammock, quilt, pocket)

single digits celsius is my sweet spot.

like others have said, cool enough that you really enjoy the insulation, but not so cold that you have to worry about things freezing

early June, near a lake in Saskatchewan is great. 25ish during the day, and 5ish over night, is just perfect imo

Great thread! 20 to 40 for me, but I won't let the temperature get in the way of me heading out into the woods.

I voted 10-30, but truly I have had few opportunities much below 20F, with a few right at 10F and with 6F being my record. (I wish it had gone below zero, because I was so comfy warm I know I could have easily done it). My first ever hammock night was 22F, and unfortunately I froze, because I did not know what I was doing. It almost put me off hammocks for good. Fortunately, I tried again and by the next night, in my HHSS with a Cat's Meow bag(I can't remember if I figured out how to get in that bag in the hammock, or if I went quilt style, but I think the former), I was good to go, warm and super comfy for the rest of that week.
