Yes, I remember my first hammock camping trip. I had nothing but a hammock and a thin sheet. I froze my ass off and was up all night. It wasn't even cold out lol. I now do something similar to this but its with a regular sleeping bag. At first I was getting in the bag and still getting cold and was about to give up on the hammock idea. I came across a video on cold weather hammock camping and learned about this and how its not just the cold air you are keeping out, its stopping convection of your heat to the outside. It make all the difference in the world to have the bottom covered like this.

yeah my first night out i had a tarp, underquilt, sleeping bag, but i hadnt tested the tarp and it rained and was heavy winds for the 2 nights i was there, first night it held up but second the pegs pulled out straight away and i just left it because it was still covering me. defo do test runs with this stuff.

Of all the cold weather hammock videos I’ve seen (just a few) not one mentioned the importance of setting the under quilt properly until this one. Something so critical to a warm night and yet they don’t mention it. That’s one reason I like Coalcracker Bushcraft.

Good points for the under quilt and over quilt. You can also add an additional UQ for extra insulation. I would also add that feet and head insulation can and more than likely will be needed. Personally, I use a down filled balaclava for the head and a pair of down filled booties for the feet. I just hammock camped this weekend and it got to -4 F. I was more than amazed at how well the down filled booties worked in my 0F sleeping bag. I got up in the middle of the night to relive myself and when I got back in my bag and hammock, I kept one foot in the booty and the other foot in just a sock for a bit to test it. The difference was notable. The booty kept the foot warm and the sock did not.

A poorman's underquilt would be a couple of opened-up trash bags duct taped together to make them long & wide enough, strung up under the hammock and then stuffed with dry grass or dry leaves. But honestly, the underquilt is worth the investment because you're not always going to find dry grass and/or dry leaves, especially in truly cold weather. Most of the leaves on the ground by that point have already begun to decay and get slimy-wet, or have frozen to the ground, and grass won't be much better.

Right, and that would be true of the cheaper underquilts. But for the modern ones made by Hammock Gear, Warbonnet, and others, that is not at all correct and trying to do that delicate little dance will probably lead to cold nights. The underquilts mentioned above are made using a "differential cut", which means that the inside liner is shorter and narrower than the outside of the u/q. That gives the u/q more of a hammock shape and makes it nearly impossible to compress the insulation in the manner that you suggest. In fact, Shug Emery advises that, when the hammock is empty, the u/q should actually lift the hammock up. I have three of the Hammock Gear units, and I can attest to the truth of this. The most important thing is to have NO VOIDS between the u/q and the hammock when you are reposing within it. For the cheaper units that do not employ the differential cut, you would be correct.

I just went on my very first hammock Camping trip and also my first time camping with freezing temperatures. I didn't have an underquilt and nor did my friend. I used a fleece blanket and improvised one and I think it helped me stay warm quite well. I also used your advice about sleeping in just thermo underwear and I also think that made a world of difference. Still, if I'd go hanging with ice on the tarp again, I'd definitely buy an underquilt!! Maybe an overquilt as well... Oh and we both had an inflatable mat in there as well, which probably helped a huge deal too. My friend however had a horrible night (I just smiled the whole night through. I loved every bit of it, camping this way) so I'm wondering what the difference is... He used a fleece blanket as well, but it was way smaller than the one I used. He didn't have thermo underwear, so he slept in his pants (a windbreaking and water "proof" one) he was hanging perpendicular to me and we've set up our tarps in a way that we created a big "roof" over our camp and with the other side close to the ground. Was it his gear he used? Or the different angle of the wind? The way we placed our tarps? Or all of it? I don't know, my mate was really cold, but again, I had such an amazing experience... I just couldn't stop smiling. I was very comfortable

Generally if your sleeping at the same angle asymmetrically (left versus right ) or straight then it stays the same IF your using a structural ridge line.

A structural ridge line is also a game changer.

Underquilts are more comfortable. Using a pad over an underquilt has the advantage if you’re hiking somewhere where you may have to go to ground some nights. I think hammockers usually use ccf, but some use inflatable, like with a bridge hammock that has a pad sleeve.
