Prior to my introduction of the concept of hammock hangin' (a short time ago) I was planning on thru hiking and tenting. As a result I have recently purchased a Mountain Hardware Switch 20 Deg sleeping bag and a Outdoor Research Expedition Downmat. The initial reading I've done leads me to believe that using a hammock rather than a tent requires a different approach and therefore different gear. Should I be returning the bag/mat and start looking at other equipment (quilts, whatever)?
