Dale Gribble: I'm thinking, "new hammock." For me, laying and swaying in a hammock is like a steady morphine drip without the risk of renal failure.

Thanks for making the video and showing these.
If you had limited the video to 30 seconds, and showed your pads* compared to the Clarks Z-liner, I would have the same impression I got from almost 10 minutes of video: I want a Clark Z-liner like I want to pay the dealer $1200 for the car stereo next time I'm shopping for one of those vehicles.
*Six thin polyester pillows and a triangle of uninsulated nylon fabric to Velcro over the foot end? That's all of the "Z-liner" system?
With summer coming on (in the lands well north of Oz), tarps movable from one hammock to another, and the same money spent:
Do I want to buy and try a Warbonnet (for example) or JRB Bridge, and plan to run a sewing machine head past 6 measured sections of a cheap and cheerful sleeping bag;
or
Do I want to buy a "Z liner"?
Apologies; an asterisk was in the wrong place in my previous post.
Bradley's seven home-made pads insulate the entire bottom. Clark's "Z liner" pads do not fill the pockets at all, being rather thin; and where Bradley had insulated the lower triangle, the last 1/4 that 3/4 UQs do not, the Clark "system" doesn't even try, offering just a triangle of fabric, a tack-on seventh loose pocket.
I do believe he did upgrade the system quite a bit. im sure if he felt his feet needed it he would have a small pad shaped to fit in the triangle

Hey guys, just so you know,
The triangle foot part is insulated the same as the pads.
Kinda like Ludwig van Beethoven . . . He just used to many notes,If you had limited the video to 30 seconds, . . . I would have the same impression I got from almost 10 minutes of video
woulda been better if it was shorter . . .
Their intent wasn't to fill the pockets. . . Clark's "Z liner" pads do not fill the pockets at all, being rather thin; . . . offering just a triangle of fabric, a tack-on seventh loose pocket.
Your comment "offering just a triangle of fabric" is inacurate,
it is just as insulated as the pads.
FYI - your general attitude just afforded you a place on my ignore list
(yea . . . that is all it takes . . . )
My guess is that Clark wasn't intending to take anyone to subarctic temps.
only through a cooler night . . .
The rest of you . . . thanks for your kind words.

Good one Bradley. I've not tried flipping my NX over to put the Z-liner on but that makes perfect sense.
I do just as you do, once the liner is installed, it stays there all season. No need to take it on/off each time you hang.
