[at-l] 5% hiking

[thornel at attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

I left out one other option. If you plan to use a hammock, especially 
something like the Speer with a Peapod, you probably only need to consider 
your sleeping mat choices and a down quilt/comforter. I've been sleeping in 
mine in the back yard much of the past few weeks. This sucker is hot when 
closed up, doesn't seem to cause the condensation of my silnylon tent, and 
can be supplemented to go pretty cold. I haven't hit the 30's yet, although 
I anticipate this during my November section (Damascus to Erwin). There are 
similar underquilts for other hammock brands.

Currently, I've used either a fleece blanket or my WM Puma bag as a quilt 
over me, with a Target foam mat between me and the hammock.

Hence, before shopping for a sleeping bag, consider your shelter choices.
