What clothing do you wear when you sleep in your hammock in the woods

[Xtreme Napper]

As for things that go bump in the night, I live in Colorado. When I hear a twig snap I'm thinking bear, lion, coyote, wolf, moose? Of course, there are elk and deer and little critters but they don't scare me.

First couple times on solo hikes I thought someone was trying to start one of those 2-stroke hit and miss engines all night. They were almost getting it to go too!

They remind me of the 2 cylinder John Deere tractors from my childhood.

I live in North Alabama, and I hang 3 seasons. Summers are hot and humid, I like shorts and a T shirt and socks. Spring and fall I may wear Long Johns and Wool Socks. If it gets cold I wear a Toboggan. (Bald Head)

I ensure my clothes provide enough insulation to keep me warm in the cold temperature but also prevent moisture from lingering on my body. My go-to method to dress for cold weather is layering up. I usually wear a base layer, a middle layer, an outer layer, and my favorite beanie. If the weather is relatively mild, I wear a regular pajama and sometimes an extra loose hoodie. I also have a nice onesie and a pair of socks that give me a dark academia vibe, which I adore! Sometimes when I go camping, I would grab those with me, just to show it off, LOL, although they are not exactly practical unless worn at home.

If my pants and shirt are dry, I just stay in them. If they are sweat or rain soaked, I change into spare dry pants and shirt. No socks for me while sleeping.

If clothes are wet and there are no dry clothes to change, then if I’m too cold, those clothes would be hanging on hammock ridgeline to dry (some) overnight.
But if those clothes are just damp—and I’m not cold, I’ve worn them dry. That is let clothes dry out just from wearing.

I usually go with whatever’s my base layer (long johns and liner shirt if it’s cold, maybe with a fleece if I want to be a little warmer; shorts and a t-shirt if it’s warm); I have a few pairs of wool socks made for diabetics that I tend to use as sleep socks (very non-binding), and if it’s going to be cold, I have a cheap down hood I found on Amazon. In cold weather I also often sleep in my down booties. For weather where it’s apt to make me start out wet, I tend to change to something dry. Because I usually camp with Scouts, sleeping in my underwear isn’t an option. I’m apt to sleep in socks, even in the summer, because I permethrin treat them, and our area has a *lot* of chiggers in the leaf litter, which I tend to find the hard way looking for a tree to water at night.

I have some lightweight silk leggings and top. They are really more to keep the hammock from me as I generally sleep with little on so it is as close as I can get to that and still protect the hammock from my stink.

Wool socks and down jacket are generally in the hammock with me but I rarely want either.

At home I never sleep in anything more than my boxers and have found that deviating from that affects my sleep quality. My hammock and TQ are due a washing.

I just created a lighterpack account. https://lighterpack.com/r/vc52zf

My last trip I just wore what I was hiking in since it was pretty warm. Outdoor Research Sun hoodie, Columbia convertible hiking pants, and some REI Merino Wool socks.
It's basically only 3 seasons where I'm at. At the coldest with tent camping I'll wear a mid weight base layer shirt, fleece, puffy jacket, beanie, leggings, hiking pants, darn tough socks, and a neck buff to keep my beanie on.

I've yet to test out the 20 deg top quilt/underquilt setup in colder temps. I'll probably just go with my normal layering system.

Nothing but a smile.

Until it gets cold. then I wear a base layer.

if I have company along, I might put something on before I leave the hammock... if they're lucky
