But unless you're in the Arctic circle, you really don't need it. Just wrap that freaking UQ around above you and clamp it with some battery clamps. You just saved some significant weight and you Maned- Up in the process!

Did I miss something? Confused.....
Don't get down on yourself, Noob. We were all there. Rule of thumb: Pack for your mission, then un-*** 2/3 of that junk. Even then you'll be overpacked. I ran sniper assist with a Navajo in the Rangers, and he would sleep in snow with just a windbreaker on. That's it! Mind over matter, son - mind over matter.
As I read more of your posts.. I am beginning to understand...
Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

You're carrying a lot of extra weight that way. If you're alone, then why aren't you part of a team to begin with: Two to a hammock, and all you need is 1 underquilt for 2 teammates: Part of you will be cold, but as it gets too cold, just roll over and swap cold for not as cold. Not too much risk of frostbite for a real man, is there?
I'd rather be 1 to a hammock, covered in down quilts top, bottom and sides, but we all have different objectives so HYOH.
Better yet: kill a wookie and climb inside, a-la Luke Skywalker! ZERO weight!!!! And Warbonnet delivers Wookies to the campsite!!!!
