Pics of your backcountry camp

Deer hunt this last season. Going to invest in one of those quilts that go under the hammock. I got miserably cold. It definitely beats sleeping on the ground though.

Tony, are you sleeping in a bag only?  Any type of rollup cushion will keep you much warmer.  An air mattress works as well.

Your body convects heat to the ambient (air) very well when suspended like that, especially if there is any wind.  You can combat this issue easily with a mattress under your sleeping bag.  That said, the cylinder quilts do work, but you shouldn't need them unless the temperature really falls (say, under 40F).

If you are going to use a sleeping pad with the hammock make sure you get one that will fit inside your bag other wise the pad has a tendency to slide out from under your bag. Or use the BA sleep system

I've started using the BA system more then my lighter bag.  It makes for a better nights sleep when your not sliding off your sleeping pad all night.  Also when sleeping on the ground it allows me to set up in areas that aren't as level and still get a good night's rest.  That really shortens time spent looking for camping spots in the Backcountry.

Well, out of state tag and with some buddies on leave, drove up the haul road til we saw hundreds of caribou then since we can't fire a gun within 5 air miles of the pipeline we had to hike in. As soon as we hit the 5 mile mark a huge snow storm blew in and we were trapped in our tents for 36 hours. When the sun came out the storm had pushed the herd through the valley we were going to hunt and straight back towards the haul road!! Well that's just a tiny part of the story and since the military gets funny if their guys don't report back from leave we got to drive through a couple thousand caribou on the way back. Not a single shot fired.........

WHY

If you have ever worn them, you would know why.

My guess is it's for when they play doctor.
