New to hammocks; still making my first one. But I have a question about top insulation.
It may not be applicable to hammocks but a few times when base camping for ski touring I have added a synthetic blanket over me tent under the third layer/ secondary fly as it helps keep the tent inner warmer and really reduces condensation.
Given that I'd be using an open ended fly and not sleeping in conditions much around freezing temperatures does an extra insulated layer do anything major in coolish weather?
Not any ultra light stuff, mainly as an adjunct to my car camping set-up.
Also I'll be using a combination of the synthetic overquilts I had custom made by Nunatak and one of my S2S Traveller bags used as quilts so good there to below freezing. Just an idle wondering as I have read about people using poncho liners draped over the top of the hammock in addition to quilts but under the tarps. If this is used I am assuming that it would go over the hammocks integral ridge line and not in contact with the waterproof tarp itself
