Take a blanket, fold and pin to the size and shape you're considering- then test.

Thanks for answering, everyone.
I will have try the pinning a blanket thing. Thanks!

In the meantime, are any of your TQs tapered at all? Just so I know what to start with. I'm going with a Flight jacket, and they offer no taper, or tapered.

I'm new. I've only hammocked one night in borrowed gear last weekend. 19 degrees overnight in a winter storm advisory with sleet and freezing rain in Wisconsin. So I don't have much hammock experience, but I just read all 24 pages of this thread and have this to add:

Privacy: Since I was winter camping, at home I dressed with my base layers and never planned to take those off. I changed under the tarp into my PJs, but with my base layers still on, I didn't care who was looking.

Underwear: Even while summer camping, sometimes I won't change my underwear. I just change pantyliners.

Male/Female Ratio: There were 16 people in our group hang. 3 were women. One married & two single gals.

Chafing: I use this. Less expensive than other brands and works just as good. 300.JPG

Thank you for this much needed thread !!!!

Does anyone else have issues getting their butt to warm up in a under quilt?

And my take on the privacy... Aslong as no children are in the group is that everyone is an adult and if you haven't seen those kinds of parts yet then you live a very sheltered life. If I happen to see something like that on the trail or in camp i just keep it to myself.

I seem to have one spot or another that just won't warm up when it's cold at night. I usually have a wool sweatshirt or piece of reflectex that I use on the cold spot and that fixes it for me. And then there's my good friend, the hot water bottle.

I'm a relatively new hammocker, and I'd just like to say thank you for this thread. I saw a lot of good ideas, and now I need to go look for a kilt...
