You had me worried until I realized you're less than a fortnight away from winter down there.

Question about the PeaPod -- It looks to function well as bottom and side insulation, but as an topquilt most of it appears to be suspended above the hammocker. I would think that might make it cold, as one has a lot more air to warm up with one's body heat. Your experience, that a topquilt inside the PeaPod at those temps is too much, seems to indicate the large void isn't much of an issue?
