Hammock campers will do anything to reduce the size and weight of their pack including leaving their sleeping bag at home. While camping in a hammock sounds like a minimalist adventure there is certain equipment needed to protect yourself from the cold and have a comfortable sleep hanging between the trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sleeping bag is not essential with a hammock, provided temperatures are 77 F (25 C) or above. You will need extra insulation when it is cooler, especially when there is wind. Sleeping bags can be used similar to a topquilt, and sleeping pads can also minimize heat loss like an underquilt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody wants to be hauling unnecessary gear while backpacking. On the other hand, if you are cold at night, you won\u2019t get decent sleep, even if the hammock is comfy. Seasoned hammock campers all have their preferred systems. However, much of it depends on personal sleeping style and the gear we choose to bring.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
