[QUOTE="dluehrs, post: 2137799, member: 115673"] I camp in all sorts of weather and have for years using tents, tarps, back of trucks, trailers and hammocks. My best night sleep is in a Hennessy Asymmetrical hammock with an insulated pad, under quilt and overquilt it is great down to around 30 degrees. Below that I go with the same system with a sleeping bag and have stayed comfortable to -11 degrees Fahrenheit. It it’s rainy or windy a good fly is a necessity. Hennessy has a nice winter kit or I also have a “superfly” however I don’t recall who makes it. Keeping my head slightly below my feet, sleeping diagonally is the best way I have found to be completely comfortable. I can sleep on my back, side or stomach this way and a pillow is not always needed. I think with hammock sleeping you need to practice in several conditions to be prepared. The Hennessy is a little costly but well worth the money. I was cheap and tried a few other options first but wish I had just gotten the Hennessy first. There are other good options out there and we all have opinions but I really feel you can’t go wrong with them. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
