Hello all,
I must be a very very cold sleeper because I thought for certain I's be sleeping roasty this weekend and instead was on the cold side. Temperatures only got down to 26°F so it wasn't excessive at all and I've tent and car camped down to -40°F before.
Here's my problem, I'm not warm enough to be comfortable. I have the Blackbird XLC hammock, superfly, scandi wookie uq (no overfill), scandi diamobdback tq (no overfill), Warbonner winter cover instead of netting, was wearing Buffalo Wool Co's thickest socks with Darntough mountaineer socks overtop, microfleece full body long johns, fleece pants, wool long shirt, a flannel jacket lined with fake shearling, hat, and gloves. All of that and I'm still cold at 26°F.
What am I doing wrong? What do I need to add to sleep warm? I love camping in winter in Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin. I had thought with the UQ and TQ rated for -20° I'd at least be warm at 0°. Do I need some sort of sock or cover? Is there lightweight packable intensely warm sleepwear I ought to switch to? I know LocoLibre sells gear rated for -40° do I just need to change from using Warbonnet quilts? Please help a new hanger who does not want to return to the dirt.
