Despite the mucky weather I decided to try out as close to an under quilt as I could get without buying one (in the garden). I ended up with a pod but oh well. What I done was use an old rectangular bag and slide it over my hammock. Safe to say it worked out well. Just putting it out there as an option so you can try before you buy.

Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

Nice one mate.
That's the great thing about this hobby of ours.
Just trying stuff to see what works & not spending a fortune doing it
Cheers bud.

What rating/GSM was the bag mate? I've also been planning to do this as I don't fancy buying one!
It was an old 2/3 season bag. The great bit is you can always add to it. If I fancy more under insulation I can put my clothes in the space bellow. Plus I can still use a normal bag if it's ultra cold as the hammock works as normal, just has a huge insulated bubble around it.

OK thanks.
Yeah that's what I like about the idea too. In a pinch you could even fill it with natural insulation too
Aye that's a point

Ohhh and I could probably upgrade it if I put in a crisp bag (one of those shiny blankets)

Ideal so a thicker reusable one is in order
